Default 350+ Vettes for Vets Ride MA. Pics

There was an astonishing turnout today at the annual Vettes for Vets ride to the VA Hospital in Bedford Ma. The ride staged at the Holiday Inn in Billerica and went on a 2.5 mile caravan to the VA Hospital in Bedford. Over 350 Corvettes of all years showed up in the rain to pay their respects to our service men and women who have and are still serving in all branches our nations military. Enjoy the pics. I would have taken more however the weather did not cooperate.

Astonishing turnout is correct considering the rain. And we still got troops fighting in a war which hardly gets a mention anymore. These dedicated men & women that showed up recognize their sacrifice.

Wow! Absolutely WOW!

What a fantastic turnout, for a fantastic cause.

Pity the weather wasn't kinder, but just amplifies the dedication.

The Vets were were ever present after the cruise and were very pleased with the dedication of 350+ enthusiasts. They deserved every vehicle who showed up and every family present along the route! There was some tremendous dedication from what I was hearing as I walked around. One C6 arrived all the way from the west coast just for this event.
