The motorcycle engines were loud, but they couldn’t drown out the American pride that beats in the chests of the Patriot Guard Riders of Alabama as they honored America’s fallen and veterans everywhere Wednesday.

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute wall arrived in Fultondale after making a Patriot Guard-escorted trek from Birmingham’s Uptown Entertainment District next to the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex to the Fultondale Promenade at 3321 Lowery Parkway.

The replica wall will be available for visitors starting at noon Thursday with events scheduled through Sunday, July 10. Find out more here.
