National Concierge Association Announces Support for the Education Center at The Wall

The National Concierge Association (NCA) announced today that it has adopted the Education Center at The Wall as a national philanthropic cause for the association.

Crystal, MN, February 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The National Concierge Association (NCA) announced today that it has adopted the Education Center at The Wall as a national philanthropic cause for the association.

“The Education Center at The Wall” (a 501(c)3 non-profit) will honor the memory of Vietnam veterans and educate visitors about the individuals who made sacrifices in the name of freedom. It will put a face with every name and tell the stories of those who served. In addition, the Education Center will celebrate the values exhibited by America’s service members, including: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Service, Honor, Integrity, and Courage.

The Vietnam Memorial holds the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives in service to our country during the Vietnam War. It is a memorial built by the American people, not to memorialize the war, but to honor and remember all who served and sacrificed during one of the longest and most divisive wars in our nation’s history.

By telling the stories behind the names, the Education Center will help visitors understand the courage, sacrifice and devotion of those who fell, those who returned, and those who waited.
