American Veterans Traveling Tribute

 

American Veterans Traveling Tribute

In remembrance of the sacrifice of the brave Americans who lost their lives in defending our way of life, the American Veterans Traveling Tribute will be on display this 21-25 September on the Texas Tech campus at Memorial Circle. The Traveling Tributes are panels of wars and conflicts, including the names of the brave Americans who lost their lives defending freedom. From the Vietnam War to Desert Storm to 9/11, the American Veteran Traveling Tribute reminds us that freedom is not free; over 900 of Lubbock's citizens have been killed in action on foreign shores.
