AMERICAN HEROES AIR SHOW WELCOMES AMERICAN VETERANS’ TRAVELING TRIBUTE TO ST. LOUIS
As a tribute to the fallen heroes of America, family, friends and the entire St. Louis community is invited to the admission-free AMERICAN HEROES AIR SHOW on Saturday, October 9th, 2010 when the American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) rolls into the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (18580 Olive St. Rd. across from Rombach’s) where the Cost of Freedom Tribute will be open to the public from 9 A.M. til 4 P.M. This is a ONE DAY ONLY event.
The visually compelling centerpiece of the Cost of Freedom Tribute is the Traveling Vietnam Wall - an 80% replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. The “wall” stretches over 380 ft. long from
end to end and contains all 58,253 names. The “wall” is current through 2009 and is constantly being updated to accurately pay tribute to those who died during the Vietnam War. It will be on display Oct 7 thru Oct 10.
The AVTT exhibit also includes special tributes to honor fallen Law Enforcement and Firefighters, a pictorial memorial of the casualties at the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and a very special 9/11 tribute with the names of
all 2,984 casualties organized by where they were located at the time of death. There will also be a CODE3 Career Fair for those interested in the military and law enforcement.
The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (www.avtt.org) is a veteran - owned project that travels the USA to provide a forum for members of the Community to come together to HONOR - RESPECT - REMEMBER
Those whom we have asked to stand in harms way to protect and defend our great country and way of life. Don Allen is the CEO of the AVTT organization and a retired Special Forces Colonel with the U.S. Army.
“The tribute honors those who are the true American Heroes,” Allen explains. “And we have the obligation to pay tribute to them by celebrating the freedoms they fought for and stand to insure.”
