The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall

 

American Veterans Traveling Tribute ( AVTT ) travels the USA each year participating in sponsored events with a mission to honor, respect, and remember those who served, and thus those who are serving. The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall is an 80% size replica visual  presentation; standing over 8’ tall @ apex, and over 370 feet long.

The Cost Of Freedom displays are 9 large memorials represented in gold dog tags under glass to remember and honor all who died in service since Vietnam, including 9/11. A large art display; Vietnam Remembered and a Walk of Heroes’ display also accompanies AVTT.

Our veterans represent freedom and it’s cost. They are our national hero’s and warrior’s. The cost of freedom is not purchased in a lump sum. It is paid in installments by our veterans. AVTT pays tribute with several exhibits and memorials. The Vietnam Veterans Traveling Tribute will be available from September 15-19, 20TBA. The event will be held at the Hiers Park, Huntington, IN.

American Veterans Traveling Tribute is an unforgettable exhibit that pays tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Vietnam War is of major importance to the Tribute the replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is its visual centerpiece, standing 8 feet high at the apex and spanning 378 feet!

A main goal of the Tribute’s constant visibility is that it shall serve as a continual reminder of America’s veterans’ dedication to freedom and that those who served shall not be forgotten.

          God Bless the USA and our Veterans.

American Veterans Traveling Tribute; We honor the past. We serve the present. We educate the future.......Come visit us

 

AVTT travels the USA in order to provide a forum for communities to come together to HONOR-RESPECT-REMEMBER all who have sacrificed their lives for our country’s freedom. By doing this we also honor all Veterans and those serving today. Because they know they will never be forgotten. We must always separate the War from the Warrior and be never failing in our support for our Men and Women of

TO REFLECT, REMEMBER, AND PAY TRIBUTE…

 

 

WELCOME

 

On behalf of the American Legion Post 7 and the American Legion Riders, we would like to welcome you to the American Veterans Traveling Tribute. As we continue to fight to bring our fellow soldiers home, we must also face the numerous issues affecting the veterans that made it home: Agent Orange, Disease’s from Desert Storm, PTSD, reduction in veteran’s benefits and the homeless veterans throughout our country. However, our successes on the POW/MIA issue, as well as all other veteran issues are dependent not only in our willingness to stand up and speak out for what is right, but also our ability to unify our forces. So if you are not now a member of a veterans group in your area, please join one. The American Legion Post 7 and the American Legion Riders invite you to join them as a member. United in peace as we were united in war, with your help, we can win the war for veterans’ benefits and POW/MIA accountability

 

Welcome Home Veterans!

We sincerely hope you and your family have a

Wonderful time.

We thank each of you for coming and sharing

In this special event with us.

 

Our nation reveals itself not only by the veterans it produces, but by those it honors, and remembers with tribute and respect. AVTT, American Legion Post 7 and The American Legion Riders have no political agenda. All who visit each event can share a common bond of experience and patriotic thanks.

A person is not gone until the memories are; we are dedicated to remembering all with honor. America can not forget those who sacrificed all, and support all who have served and are serving. This is vital education for our youth.

Our country must also remember the POW’s and MIA’s who never came home; we are dedicated to their cause and memory. To all who came home; our tributes simply say

“ Welcome Home”

It is our duty and mission that those who served  SHALL never be forgotten
