1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: This morning, we're going out and about to Woodland Hills

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: for the Wall That Heals. This is really special. The

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Vietnam War Memorial is at Pierce College this weekend. It's

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: a replica of the memorial. We caught up with Arnie

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Crane with the Jewish War Veterans Post six O three

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley in Woodland Hills. So Arnie, please tell

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: us about this amazing exhibit. The Wall that Heals.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: The Wall that Hills is an exact replica, three quarter

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: replica of the wall that's in Washington, d C. It's

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: brought probably by the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Fund, and they

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: go to around I believe thirty or forty sites a year,

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: and out of one hundred and forty applicants, we were

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: chosen for them to come here.

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: Is this the first time it's been here.

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: It's well, it's the first time it's been in Woodland Hills. Right.

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: They're going at the Orange California and they're going somewhere

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: else in Northern California. When they leave here, they're here

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: for four days.

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Right, So you're going to be here Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: The weather's going to be perfect. You're going to want

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: to come out and see it. So explain to us

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a little bit about this. It's a three quarter replica,

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: exact replica, and we're getting a sneak peek of it

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: now because it's not all put together, but they're putting

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: the frame together. And so it starts here. And how

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: big is this The wall?

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: There's three hundred and seventy five feet long from one

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: end to the other. In other words, there's an apex

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: from one end. From one end of the apex right

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: is one hundred and eighty something feet in the other,

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: and there's another one hundred and eighty so it's total

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy and with on that wall there's

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: five two hundred and eighty one names of the deceased

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: from Vietnam. There are eight women on that wall, so

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: mostly nurses. So it's really a memorable event for the veterans.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: And it's a really cool thing because not everybody can

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: go to Washington, DC. I mean, that's a huge trip,

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: but you can go to Woodland Hills and see the

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: exact replica. Why do you think this is such a

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: powerful display?

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: Why? Yeah, because of the five thousand, two hundred and

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: eighty nine veterans that gave their life and sacrificed their

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: life for this country. That's why.

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially because when soldiers came home from Vietnam,

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: they didn't exactly get a warm welcome home, so even

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: more powerful to really honor these people.

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I was one of them. I spent nineteen sixty

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: part of sixty seven sixty eight in Vietnam and Dinan.

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if you were there.

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: I always there there, I was station near that.

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I wonder if you were there at the

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: same time as my uncle.

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: I was there during tech, which was the biggest offense.

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: And during that time, I wasn't out in the field.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't out in the jungles, but I was at

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: the hospital taking care of wounded veterans. Yeah.

57
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, And so is it pretty I would imagine

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: heartwarmingesthartic now to see the reaction.

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: We bought a lot of tissues, a lot of people.

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Some veterans actually come late at night. We were up

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: in twenty four to seven. Oh great, and some people

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: come late at night because just to ship by the

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: wall and reflect a lot of veterans. Yeah, it's it's

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: it's touching, very touching.

65
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: Okay. And then so I know that some people do

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: the the transfers on the wall and they catch the names.

67
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: Are you going to get that? Absolutely? What they'll do

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: is they'll come up. We'll have a computer and they'll

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: give us the name of the veteran and what year basically,

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: and to get how it's listed, to see you're listed

71
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: by ther time from the time they passed away, it

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: got killed, or I forget how exactly it's listed. But

73
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: then we give you the piece of paper and a

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: pencil and you can trace the name. We'll tell you

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: exactly what section they're at. Okay.

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: And then there's also a really cool trailer here that's

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: going to be an educational trailer. And what are people

78
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to learn?

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: Go to learn all about the Vietnam War, and there'll

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: be teachers here at instructors telling them about it. We

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: have ROTC programs coming. We have about five or six

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: RTC programs and some other educational schools. Okay.

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: And the other really cool thing that we're going to

84
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: see is right behind us. If we just walk over here,

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: it's a gold Star bike. Arnie tell us about this motorcycle.

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: This was donated by a mother of one of the veterans,

87
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: Goldsaw mother, and she donated this many years ago. It

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: was her son's bike and it travels with the wall.

89
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: That's great one A right, let's talk then a little

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: bit again because we don't see the complete thing, which

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: is a reason for you to come out and see

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: it when it's in its full glory. It opens Thursday evening.

93
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: The actual opening would be Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

94
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: at two o'clock it closes, okay.

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: And you said it's open twenty.

Speaker 2: Four hours twenty four seven. It's open twenty four to seven.

97
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,640

98
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: I love that.

99
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Arnie Crane, thank you so much for your time. We

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what is so important, the wall

101
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: that heels. That's where we're out and about in Woodland

102
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Hills this morning on KFI. It is again. It wasn't

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: complete when I saw it because the framework was up

104
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: and they we're going to be putting the panels up.

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: But it is open today, Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. If

106
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: you get a chance. It's really pretty cool. I've been

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: to the one in DC.

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: I've heard it's very moving.

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: It is very very moving, and I think that especially

110
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: if you go at night. I didn't realize it was

111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: going to be open twenty four hours. It's even more

112
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: impactful at night. We went and though it at night

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: when we were in DC. We're going to show you

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: if you wanted to take a sneak peek at what

115
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: it looked like. I'm going to be posting on my

116
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: Instagram at Amy K King. I'm going to do that

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: a little bit later this morning. You'll also be able

118
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: to see it at KFI AM six forty. And I

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: also noticed the one thing that Arne said was the

120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: five thousand, two hundred eighty one, it's actually fifty eight thousand,

121
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: two hundred eighty one fifty eight thousand, two hundred eighty

122
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: one names, and it's an exact replica. They're all up there.

123
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: Really worth seeing
