The Memorial Day holiday, which commemorates U.S. men and women who have sacrificed their lives while serving in our military, will take on added significance in Schaumburg in 2008. Throughout the entire 2008 Memorial Day weekend, May 23-26, 2008, Alexian Field, home of the Schaumburg Flyers, will host the Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall and the Cost of Freedom Exhibit.
The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall is an 80% size replica of the original structure in Washington, D.C., stands over eight feet tall at its apex, and is over 370 feet long. The Wall will be located inside the stadium along the outfield warning track.
The Cost of Freedom Exhibit displays are nine large memorials to remember and honor all who have lost their lives for our country in service since the Vietnam War.
