PALMDALE – Patriot Guard Riders and American Legion Riders will lead the escort of The Antelope Valley’s Mobile Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall (AV Wall) from its storage facility to the Palmdale Amphitheater on Wednesday, Nov. 8.

The escort will travel west on Palmdale Blvd. to 10th Street West, north on 10th Street West to Rancho Vista Blvd, and then west on Rancho Vista Blvd. to the Palmdale Amphitheater, located at 2723 Rancho Vista Blvd.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to line the escort route waving American flags and “Welcome Home” banners.
