Join us to pay tribute to our veterans when the American Veterans Traveling Tribute visits Milky Way Park in Harvard, IL, Sept. 8-11. We are a proud sponsor of this memorial hosted by the Harvard Chamber of Commerce.

The mission of the AVTT project is to travel the nation to honor, respect, and remember the men and women who served, and to pay specific tribute to those who gave all in that service. Since the tribute is mobile, it lets people honor and commemorate veterans and active military personnel without having to travel far to do so.

The Traveling Wall is an 80% scale version of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. Across its 360-foot length, the wall consists of all names etched on the original. At its pinnacle, the memorial stands eight-feet tall.

The Traveling Wall was constructed in 1998 and began traveling that year.
