SULLIVAN — The American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT) finally arrived in Sullivan County on Tuesday, September 10, and it made its way through the heart of the county.

The wall left the QWL Building on Riverside Drive in Woodbourne at around 3 p.m. It went through Fallsburg and Kiamesha before heading to Monticello.

Hundreds of motorcycle riders from Rolling Thunder and other biker organizations were followed by a caravan of emergency responders as they escorted the AVTT.

All the trucks were honking their horns and ringing their sirens as they made their way down Monticello's Broadway.

“I think it went very well,” said Rocky Ortega of the Sullivan County Veterans Coalition. “I was surprised we didn't have any major hiccups. Everything went very smooth.”

The Democrat was stationed on Broadway and produced a live video feed which gained, as of press time, over 4,000 views and was shared over 87 times.

Well-wishes were posted in the comments section of the video. Some say they saw it pass their town and how amazing it was to see. Some mentioned how touched they were to see the wall and how it showed how a county could come together when needed.

After leaving Monticello, the convoy made its way back on to State Route 17 until Exit 109 in Rock Hill.

There, the convoy was led into Rock Hill Fire Department Pavilion and Baseball Field located at 61 Glen Wild Road where it will stay for the next several days.

Once at the firehouse, they were met by Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther and her staff who all volunteered to feed the hundreds that helped escort the wall.

“Everybody in my office just jumped in [to help],” said Gunther.

A full buffet of hamburgers and hotdogs were served to all at the Rock Hill Fire Department Pavilion.

“We were honored to be able to serve all the people that brought that wall to Sullivan County,” said Gunther.

When the convoy rolled into the pavilion, Gunther just couldn't believe her eyes on the number of people that helped escort the wall to Rock Hill.

“It was really so magnificent. It was a sight to behold,” said Gunther.

The size of the traveling memorial is an 80 percent replica of the Vietnam Memorial that is located in the nation's capital.

The replica is 360 feet long and stands eight feet tall at its center.

The memorial wall opened to the public on September 11 and will be open for 24 hours a day until Sunday, September 15. Admission is free.
