About The Moving Wall

  • This marks the second time the Moving Wall will make its way to Coral Springs, as it was also here in 2015.

  • It was founded by John Devitt who, after visiting “The Wall,” vowed to share his experience with those who may not have the opportunity to go to Washington, D.C.
