‘Moving Wall’ memorial gives Stockton vets, families space to remember the fallen

AS RAMONA RATERMAN LEFT the black granite panel engraved with her brother’s name, she said it felt as though she left a part of her heart behind. 

Just outside the Weber Point Event Center in Stockton, Raterman and her family moved through the grassy plaza, a nearly 300-foot long mobile memorial set-up to memorialize the 58,000 people who were killed or missing in action in the Vietnam War.
