FAIRFIELD TWP. - The Vietnam Wall Experience will make its first appearance in Butler County Sept. 23-28 when it comes to Rose Hill Burial Park, 2565 Princeton Road.

The wall is a three-fourths scale, traveling replica of the most visited of national monuments in Washington, D.C.

About 289 names on the wall are from Butler County. Eleven soldiers who died in Vietnam are buried in Rose Hill, and they will be honored during a program at the exhibit.

The nationally touring Quilt of Tears will be displayed on site at Kowalk Funeral Home Sept. 27-28. The quilt was made by Jennie LeFevre as a memorial and tribute to the victims of Agent Orange, the defoliant used in Vietnam.

Because the wall lists only the soldiers killed in battle, she made the quilt to credit to those who also gave their lives. Her husband died of cancer after exposure to chemicals in Vietnam.
