The Moving Wall is a replica scale model of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall located on the Mall at Washington DC.  Touring the country for more than 20 years, there are two structures that travel the US from April through November.

Lakeshore Mall will be the site of the November 18-21 display of the Moving Wall.  Volunteers will be needed to help during the week to assist with security, set-up and packing up after the event.  Other volunteers will be needed for assisting visitors to the Wall locate the names on the wall, with parking, and with cleanup.
