The SeaBees Island X-7, Plymouth chapter, donated $1,000 to the Friends of the Wareham Veterans Council Saturday to help bring a replica of the Vietnam War Memorial to town.
For the past year, the Friends of the Wareham Veterans Council have worked to raise $49,000 in time to bring the Moving Wall to Wareham this August. Saturday's donation followed a $2,500 donation from Rockland Trust earlier in the week.
Members of the SeaBees Plymouth chapter are all former members of the United States Naval Construction Battalions.
