The Moving Wall arrived in Fresno on a custom-built trailer driven by co-founder Norris Shears and his faithful navigator and wife, Linda. Both have dedicated most of their adult lives to stewarding this exhibit to towns and cities throughout the United States.
A crew of local volunteers lovingly assembled the exhibit panel-by-panel. This exhibit will be open around the clock until noon on Monday May 16th, when it will disassembled and off to another city.

Try to go after dark, or at sundown for "Retreat". Or go in the wee hours of the morning. The size of the crowd then will astound you -- and the spirit of reverence will stay with you...
Above all, Don't miss it!!
I am going to try to make it a special point to attend closing ceremonies. We were doing our support the troops Freep in Fresno, and Dee Gaines, one of the closing ceremony singers, stopped by to thank us. I intend to respond in a like manner.
Excellent! Thank you!
