To Everyone...
Hey guys, I just wanted to say I am a proud American Soldier in Afghanistan, I just wanted to take a minute from all this Vette Talk, and ask everyone to think of all the Soldiers we have lost. Keep up the great vette's and see you when I get back.

I never forget about our proud service men and women. who keep us safe everyday. I have a stepbrother whose an Air Force Colonel who was just turned down for a tour in Iraq because of a health condition, and a cousin whose had 3 tours in the Gulf with the Coast Guard.
God bless you, and all of our troops, and thank you for your unselfish dedication to our freedom and our Country!

Thank you and all of your Buds for what you do!
Our local Vette club sponsors 3 venues every year with a Vettes for Vets program where we do an annual pancake feed fund raiser @ the VFW, a show & shine at the Veterans hospital with donation drive, and a kids ride day for kids who have parents on deployment. All 3 events are extremely rewarding for everyone involved.
One of my best bud's son just shipped out to Afganistan on his 3rd deployment into the region, 1 Iraq & 2nd Afganistan. If you run into Alex Harris from Lakeside MT tell him I said Hi.
Take care and come home safe!

Two trips to Iraq here. I got back from the last one in the beginning of August. I lost a few friends over there and still have more scattered across the globe. You guys are always part of the family and in my thoughts. Don't get complacent, Keep your head on a swivel and come home safe.

Keep fighting the good fight. You're always in our thoughts. USAF Vet. I make it a point whenever I see a man or women in uniform when I out in a restaurant, to buy them a drink and let them know they are appreciated. During Fleet Week in NYC, when I see a Sailor or a Marine and their buds walking around town, I give them a $10 or $20 spot and say the next drink is on me and thanks.

My Dad was a WWII Vet so I grew up knowing the price of freedom was not cheap. America is truely the home of the brave and because of that it is the land of the free.
It's a shame that so many in this country do not realize the unselfish sacrifice that's involved for us live in the ways we have grown accustom to.
Thank you for what you and the rest of our military do to keep us safe.
God bless America.
