American Veterans Traveling Tribute Exhibit on Display Along Vincennes Riverwalk

VINCENNES, Ind. (We Are Knox County) - A tribute honoring the men and women who have served the United States is now on display along the Vincennes Riverwalk.

Members of Lincoln High School’s JROTC, the Veterans Recovery Program, and City of Vincennes employees assembled the Voices of Valor HD Tribute Wall Thursday morning.

The exhibit includes three main tributes: the Vietnam Wall, honoring more than 58,000 fallen service members; the Global War on Terror Tribute, recognizing those lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Sept. 11 attacks; and the Cost of Freedom Tribute, which spans conflicts from World War I through Afghanistan.

The display is part of the larger American Veterans Traveling Tribute, a traveling memorial that honors U.S. service members through historic war exhibits and remembrance walls.

Vincennes Mayor Joe Yochum told WAKC News Now the display gives the community a chance to recognize and honor those who served and sacrificed for the country while celebrating the Fourth of July.

An opening ceremony will take place Friday at 10:00 a.m.

The tribute will be open to the public through 6:00 a.m. Sunday.
