Traveling Vietnam Wall arrives in Carson City today
The Traveling Vietnam Wall and the AVTT crew is officially being escorted into Carson City this afternoon by the Nevada Highway Patrol and local law enforcement officials, as well as veterans and local military personnel via convoy consisting of motorcycle riders and emergency vehicles.
The convoy began from the Silverado Casino in Fernley and has proceeded down Interstate 80 West, traveling through Sparks and Reno before making the turn southward on US Hwy 395 (Interstate 580) to Carson City. The convoy is traveling over the new I-580 freeway from South Reno to Carson City. It will ultimately reach its destination at Mills Park on Highway 50 in Carson City at approximately 2:30 p.m. (contingent upon weather and departure time from Fernley).
There will be a reception immediately following the arrival of the Wall at Mills Park. All riders and participants in the official escort must sign and submit a waiver before being allowed into the convoy. You can download the waiver form here; liability hold harmless agreement
The Traveling Vietnam Wall is an amazing way to honor our fallen servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice and who paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom and duty. It truly is a great way to educate our children of what hardships our nation’s military faced throughout history.
We are fortunate to be able to bring it to Carson City, but like everything else, there are considerable costs to cover and we need your help.
