The Wall that Heals

The Wall That Heals on the Outer Banks

Last year, the Outer Banks was honored to be chosen as the last stop of the 2023 tour of The Wall That Heals Vietnam Veterans Memorial Replica & Mobile Education Center. The traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., honors the more than 3 million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces throughout the Vietnam War and includes the names of over 58,000 people who made the ultimate sacrifice. Outer Banks residents and visitors welcomed The Wall That Heals to the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head. 

Support Our Local Men & Women in Uniform

In appreciation of the service and sacrifices made by local men and women in uniform, the Dare County Board of Commissioners provides a local Veterans Service Office to help veterans and their dependents gain information and assistance in accessing all available benefits.
