Thanks, McCook!

Dear Editor,

American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) had the opportunity to bring the AVTT Traveling Vietnam Wall to McCook last week. We'd like to take the opportunity thank everyone involved with making this event a reality and to the community itself for welcoming our organization and this patriotic and educational event into McCook.

We'd like to thank American Legion Post 203 for sponsoring and hosting the event and to Maggie Repass for serving as the main coordinator and our point of contact for the event. You and your team's support, hard work and dedication were essential to a successful event. We'd like to thank the folks at Weiland Field for providing a beautiful venue for the event as well.

The event kicked off with an Honor Escort Ride from Bartley to McCook and we are so grateful to everyone that coordinated and participated in the ride. It was a wonderful tribute to our fallen heroes! The event itself was just as a wonderful and we'd like to extend a thank you to all volunteers and ceremony participants. We'd like to thank the set up and tear down crews, Locator Volunteers, Security Personnel and everyone involved with the Traveling Wall being in McCook! Without the dedication of so many, this event would not have been possible.

Thank you for welcoming us into your community and for taking the time to honor, respect and remember our active duty, veteran and fallen heroes.

We very much look forward to returning to McCook in the future.

Respectfully,

Leah DeLuzio
