A presentation ceremony honoring Vietnam veteran and former Bristol Mayor Arthur “Art” Ward in recognition of his efforts to bring the Traveling Wall to Bristol will be one of two events featuring the Traveling Wall at the Bristol Public Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28.

Paul Fitta, who served with Ward, will be featured speaker.

The second event is the dedication of a new exhibit of memorial and votive items left at the Traveling Wall/Wall that Heals during the time it was installed along Memorial Boulevard.

The permanent display honors members of the Bristol community who served in the Vietnam War.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
