The traveling wall known as The Wall That Heals is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.

The replica was trucked from Indiana to Living History Farms in Urbandale this week, stopping to set up a motorcade of hundreds of veterans on motorcycles at Iowa Speedway on Wednesday morning to be escorted into greater Des Moines.

Some Jasper County residents saluted the wall and the veterans it represents by waving American flags from overpasses as the motorcade headed along Interstate 80.
