SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Associated General Contractors of South Dakota will donate labor and materials to enable access for the disabled to the Vietnam Traveling Wall coming to Sioux Falls next week.

Ron Obe with Vietnam Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club says crews laid an eight foot walkway over the curb.

Obe says that act alone will make the site wheelchair accessible.  If they need, crews will also install ramps.  The walkway follows the length of the wall and creates exits.  Many visitors and veterans who want to visit the Memorial may be physically challenged.           

The Wall arrives in Sioux Fall August 5th with an escort from the V-F-W on South Minnesota to the Sanford Pentagon.  The Wall will be located in a field directly east of the Sanford Pentagon near the Sioux Falls Airport
