Veterans Traveling Tribute Wall

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute Wall is in La Center this weekend. Many of you may have heard about the traveling Viet Nam Memorial Wall that is a smaller version of the one in Washington DC. My friend, Chief Tim Hopkin, from the La Center Police Department was instrumental in getting the wall setup in La Center.

Goni and I went down to see the wall and were deeply moved. While the wall has the names of all the US troops killed in Viet Nam there are tributes to our troops who have served in all wars. We listened to the bagpipes play and looked at the displays.

There is more than one wall and they travel the USA. To find out where one of the walls will be go to the following website: http://www.avtt.org
