Pleasant, Ottumwa, Richland and Fairfield. The 248-foot wall is driven around the country and stationed in one spot for about four days.

To donate, mail checks, earmarked for The Wall, payable to American Legion Auxiliary No. 47, c/o Shirley Kitch, 305 W. Washington Ave., Fairfield 52556. All donations will be kept in a separate account until the goal is reached.

Names of all donors will be listed on the back of the program.
