"Giving the community a place to honor and remember our American heroes is a small, but sincere way that we can pay tribute to those who have offered the greatest sacrifice for our freedoms," said Furniture Row Owner and Vietnam veteran, Barney Visser. "I want to give people a weekend dedicated to honoring the sacrifices that so many Americans have made and continue to make for freedom. This event is not only to remember casualties of the Vietnam War, but to honor and show pride for all of our country's veterans."
