The final segment of the Vietnam War mural that includes the names of the 17 Manteca men that died serving America is nearing completion.Muralist Linda Shrader is painting the mural in sections. Parts of the floating frame it will be mounted on are already in place on the eastern facing wall of the Manteca Bedquarters in downtown Manteca. In the coming weeks the mural will be pieced together on the wall with Shrader doing the finishing touch-up work so the image is seamless.The mural commissioned by the Manteca Mural Society has been highly anticipated by the community’s Vietnam veterans that are primarily in their 60s and 70s.
