Mission, TX — U.S. military service veterans and active members of the U.S. armed forces travel great distances and make great sacrifices to preserve and protect freedom and liberty. Now there is an ideal way to honor their contribution. The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) will visit Mission, Texas March 12-15, 2020 with the Vietnam Traveling Wall.
The wall will be displayed outside the Mission Event Center, 200 N. Shary Road. The mission of the project is to travel the nation to honor, respect, and remember men and women who served, and to pay specific tribute to those who gave all in that service. Since the tribute is mobile, it allows people to honor and respect veterans and active military personnel without having to travel great distances to do so.
The AVTT Vietnam Traveling Wall is an 80 percent scale version of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. Across its 360-foot length, the wall contains every single name etched on the original. At its apex, the memorial is an impressive eight-feet tall.
The Vietnam Traveling Wall was completed in early 1998 and began traveling that year. AVTT’s Vietnam Traveling Wall is the largest wall replica traveling the USA. The wall will be on display for viewing 24 hours a day at the Mission Event Center.
