The American Veterans Traveling Wall, an 80-percent-sized replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., is on display 24 hours a day through 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
Light towers are in place to illuminate the memorial.
“We celebrate that we honor our veterans with this commemorative display coming to Pflugerville over the Veterans Day holiday,” said Mayor Jeff Coleman in a release from the city.

Amberly Fowler of Georgetown said she brought her young daughters, Zoey and Zenly, to pick a name and pray for the soldier.
“They wanted to pray for all of them,” Fowler said. “So we are.”

High school volunteers and city staff will use a computer program to help guests locate names on the wall from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.
