GLADSTONE -- The City of Gladstone held its 4th of July parade Wednesday, and this year there's something extra special to celebrate.

There's a traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall in Van Cleve Park.  About 70 Patriot Guard Riders escorted the wall from the Island Resort and Casino to Gladstone Tuesday night.
    
There are 58,253 names of those who died during the Vietnam war.  The wall is an 80% replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C.
    
It's open to view 24 hours a day, free of charge until 8 p.m. Saturday when the wall will be taken down.
