The Vietnam Wall That Heals had such a tremendous outpouring of community support that the visit closed with extra water and snacks. The decision was made to “Pay it Forward”. The supplies were given to the Falling Spring Ruritan Club for their support of the Falling Spring Evangelical Church’s mission to help with the devastation in North Carolina as a result of hurricane Helene.
