Memorial to Honor KIA Tow Truck Drivers
Most of us are unaware that tow truck drivers are heroes who might die trying to tow our cars and trucks away. The "Wall of the Fallen" will correct that mis-perception by listing the names of tow truck drivers around the world who "gave their lives while serving the motoring public."
The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum is in Chattanooga, Tennessee, only 3.5 miles from the spot where the tow truck was invented. The Wall of the Fallen is being built in the museum's front yard, and will be unveiled on September 9, during Chattanooga's annual TowFest. [02/26/2006]
