A Field Cross memorial, a display of the state’s POW and MIA heroes, and a 1/8-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall are also highlights of the weekend. Film: Etchings in Stone: Memories of North Carolina’s Vietnam Veterans This film of a thought-provoking play by North Carolina Vietnam veteran Ron Harris places audience members “inside” the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall so individuals are privy to the words and unspoken thoughts of passing visitors.
