Tribute to American Veterans
The price of freedom is the writing on the traveling wall which arrived Tuesday in Gillette. This sentimental tribute to our fallen hero’s killed in the line of duty from Vietnam through the airport bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan last month as well as the brave first responders lost during 9/11. See photo gallery below at the end of this schedule.
