1. Proudly recognizing the dedicated City of Laredo employees who played a vital role in the planning and coordination efforts to welcome and host The Wall That Heals—a three-quarter scale replica traveling exhibit of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Laredo was one of only thirty communities nationwide selected to showcase this meaningful exhibit. The Wall That Heals arrived on April 1, 2025, and was greeted with a community parade featuring local law enforcement, firefighters, schools, and veterans who escorted the exhibit to its display site at Uni-Trade Stadium. The exhibit was open to the public 24 hours a day from April 2 through April 6, offering the community a powerful opportunity to reflect and honor the service of over three million Americans who served in the Vietnam War, including the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. During its stay, a series of ceremonies were held to commemorate the legacy and bravery of our veterans. The City of Laredo extends its heartfelt gratitude to the employees whose efforts ensured a successful and respectful presentation of this historic tribute.
