MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, PA — Officials are warning residents around the Montgomery Township area not to be alarmed if they see drones in the sky in the coming days.

Drones will be flown by law enforcement throughout the duration of The Wall That Heals exhibit, the massive scale replica of the Vietnam War Memorial, which arrived at Windlestrae Park Tuesday.

"These (drone) flights are for public safety monitoring, photography, and videography purposes," Montgomery Township police said. "Drones will not be flown directly over people. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a memorable and secure experience for everyone."

The Wall That Heals will be on display in Montgomery Township through July 13.

It arrived Tuesday as part of a ceremonial motorcycle escort that brought it from Valley Forge National Historical Park, through King of Prussia and Norristown, and up to Windlestrae Park.

The exhibit honors the 3 million Americans who served the armed forces during Vietnam, and includes the names of the 58,281 men and women who were killed.
