The display will be open to the public to pay their respects 24 hours a day during the six-day period. The kickoff for the event, Wed. June 24th 11am (registration) at the Tops Market at Transit & French Rds. in Depew, will begin with a motorcycle run/escort of Vietnam Veterans and others bringing the AVTT to the Park. The following day, after the Tribute is erected, there will be several ceremonies scheduled during the week for various armed forces and emergency service groups to be honored. The highlight of week will be on Saturday, June 27 when the only Medal of Honor recipient living in New York State, Gary Beikirch, as well as other area veterans, will be recognized. To accommodate the thousands of visitors expected during this time several offsite parking areas have been designated with shuttle transportation to the Park.  716-652-8444 or 716-655-7200.
