 ENCINO, California - Operation Gratitude today announced that American Veterans Traveling Tribute ("AVTT") and the Lake Havasu Hospitality Association have joined forces to host a signature event showcasing the patriotism that makes our country great. The "First Annual Patriot Days" will take place September 15-26, 2010 with ten days of events and activities for all ages. Patriots from across the nation will join together to celebrate freedom, honor our Fallen, and raise postage money to help Operation Gratitude send over 100,000 care packages this year to U.S. troops deployed in harm's way.
The centerpiece of the event will be AVTT's "Cost of Freedom Tribute" which
includes the traveling Vietnam Wall, a gold dog tag tribute to all the men and
women who have given their lives in the Global War on Terror, and several other
displays that honor, respect, and remember the men and women who fight for the
freedom we celebrate.
To kick-off this historic event on Wednesday, September 15, a Motorcycle escort
will accompany the Traveling Tribute from Kingman, AZ to the event site in Lake
Havasu City. All escort participants should meet at 12:00pm at Mother Road
Harley in Kingman AZ (2501 E Beverly Ave. Kingman, AZ 86401).
Patriot Days will feature scheduled events every day, including Daily Honor
ceremonies and tributes, Parades, 5k runs, the Mohave County Fair, Patriot
Bowling, Patriotic Cinema Film Classics and more. A variety of musical and
comedic entertainment will perform on the main stages throughout the event.
Included among many others are Gallagher, The McClymonts, The Chris Weaver Band,
and the Ventura Girlz. Visit the Lake Havasu City Patriot
Days website for full event details.
A "God, Country, and Freedom Rally" will occur on Friday, September 24th.
Speakers will include Veterans, Military, Police, Fire Fighters and other
American Heroes. Also featured will be family members of those serving, sharing
their stories, their pain and their joy.
The goal of Patriot Days is to raise sufficient funds to pay the postage on
20,000 Operation Gratitude Holiday Care Packages to deployed Military. Donations can be made
online or at the Event. Personal letters and Wish List items for the
packages can be deposited in Drop Boxes that will be placed throughout the event
premises.
