W.H.Lyons Fairgrounds



80% Size replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall 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 the Armed Forces.

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (www.avtt.org) will be at the 2010 Salute to the Troops event in Sioux Falls, SD at the Fairgrounds (FREE ADMISSION) June 24-27, 2010.

Thank you to all who have served America!

I saw this in Perryton, Texas two years straight, and it's a must see event. For anyone that wishes to pay respect to those US soldiers that have served and died in Vietnam or any other US conflict, this is a great monument ot see. "To those who served and those who died, we pay respect to the families that still survive."

I'm not going to miss it. I grew up during Vietnam, but was fortunate enough to be born one year too late to go through the draft. I have many friends who were there. Not one of them didn't call the whole thing miserable. These people have my utmost respect. They served our country when called, even when our government was making a mockery of the whole thing.

Lesson we should have learned. Either fight to win with all you've got or get the he!! out.
