The Wall is scheduled for arrival May 24. Setup will take 2-3 hours the following day with a soft opening planned May 25. The official opening will be on Friday, May 26 with a special Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 29 at 11:30 a.m. Sponsored by the Sachse Historical Society, the Wall will be on display for viewing at the Sachse Municipal Complex.
