Vets that own Vettes
Thank you to all the Veterans out there who have served in our military to give us the freedom we have today. We all share a certain freedom of speech when it comes to our Vettes and each one says something a little different because of the wheels, paint, interior or any other mods we make to them.
If it were not for those soldiers who fought for this freedom what would we have or where would we be?
For those Veterans who do own a Corvette, you deserve to own America's only Sports Car.
Please, let's not forget these guys and gals!

Unfortunately, I had to wait 30+ years after getting out of the Marine Corps to get my first Vette, but it was well worth it.

Navy 65-69. Last duty was VF-21 onboard USS Ranger CVA-61. Got my first Vette in 68, while on leave.
Tomorrow there is a Veterans Day program at my grandson and granddaughter’s school. They honor all vets and have those in attendance come up and say what branch of service, and years of duty and final who you are there with.
