From Daytona International Speedway
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – The American Veterans Traveling Tribute and Traveling Wall will visit Daytona International Speedway Feb. 27–March 8 during Daytona 200 Week By Honda. Viewing is free to the public with access to the Memorial through the turn four tunnel.
The mission of the project is to travel the nation to honour, 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 honour and respect veterans and active military personnel without having to travel great distances to do so.
“We’re honoured to be able to display the American Veterans Traveling Tribute and Traveling Wall at ‘The World Center of Racing,’” said Speedway President Robin Braig. “The memorial on property will remind our fans of those who have served their country with great distinction.”
The AVTT presents several Cost of Freedom memorials and exhibits with its centerpiece being the Traveling Wall, an 80% scale version of the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.
Across its 370-foot length, the wall contains every single name etched on the original. At its apex the memorial is an impressive eight-feet tall. The traveling wall was completed in early 1998 and began traveling that year. AVTT’s traveling wall is the largest Wall replica traveling the US.
