The City of Olive Branch will host the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall June 4-8, 2026, at the George M. Harrison Municipal Soccer Complex at 8700 Church Road in Olive Branch, Mayor Ken Adams announced.

In a statement marking National Vietnam War Veterans Day, Adams said the traveling tribute brings the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to communities across the country. He said the exhibit offers an opportunity for reflection, education and healing.
