Don't Miss: American Veterans Traveling Tribute in Plymouth

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute, featuring a replica of the Vietnam Wall, will stop through Plymouth this afternoon en route to Commerce Township. It will briefly appear at Compuware Arena.

From a news release for Detroit Bike Week:

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute, featuring a mobile replica of the Vietnam Wall and other patriotic attractions honoring the nation’s veterans, is scheduled for a five-day stop in Metro Detroit from July 27–31, 2011.  Sponsored by Detroit Bike Week and Top Notch Entertainment & Events, Inc., this is the only 2011 Metro Detroit area appearance of the nationally acclaimed touring tribute to America’s war veterans.    

The Wall and Tribute visit kicks off with a welcoming ceremony and motorcycle escorted ride from the (14900 Beck Rd., Plymouth, Michigan) on Wednesday July 27 at 3 pm to Multi-Lakes Conservation Association (3860 Newton Rd.) in Commerce Township, Michigan. There, the public is invited to see the Wall and Cost of Freedom Tribute as part of Detroit Bike Week from July 28 - 31. 

The Traveling Wall is a replica, 80 percent the size of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.  The mission of the project is to travel the nation to honor 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 honor and respect veterans and active military personnel without having to travel great distances to do so.
