American Veterans Traveling Tribute & Traveling
Wall Foundation
Honoring America’s Warriors
American Veterans Traveling Tribute is a group of
veteran owners who are committed to travel the USA to honor,
respect, and remember those who served, and pay specific tribute to
those who gave all. This mission also insures that all will honor
and respect those who have served our country and those who serve
now. We are AVTT for short, and can be viewed on line at
http://www.avtt.org. AVTT fulfills its mission statement by
presenting the "Cost of Freedom" tribute and exhibits. The tribute
consists of:
- The centerpiece
: an 80% size replica of the Vietnam
Memorial Wall. This 80% replica contains 100% of the names. It
is 370 long and about 8 ½ ft tall at apex. This exhibit is
called the Traveling Wall. It was constructed in 1997- early
1998, and began traveling the USA in 1998. AVTT’s traveling wall
is the largest Wall replica traveling the USA, and is not to be
confused with several other replica Walls; The Moving Wall, The
Dignity Wall, the Wall That Heals. These replica Walls do a fine
job, and we are all on a mutual mission.

AVTT attends sponsored events to also insure that
all who cannot travel to Washington DC., have an opportunity to
attend, respect, and remember. We have also experienced that many
who can, will not go Washington DC. When sponsors bring AVTT to
communities, these persons many times cannot resist the opportunity
to attend and experience some healing. We Americans must never
forget our freedom’s roots. AVTT is not government sponsored or
affiliated. We are self funded via sponsorship fees, donations, and
sale of merchandise at events. AVTT is also a part of The Traveling
Wall Foundation (TWF); an IRS designated 501 C3. Donations or
support to AVTT’ mission via TWF are qualified charitable tax
deductions. The TWF is managed by a board of directors and all funds
are allocated to support AVTT’s mission and non AVTT related veteran
causes or charities. All comments and/or questions are welcome and
encouraged to any person’s identified on our web site, http://www.avtt.org.
