Very glad he's coming home safe. Send along a big thanks from me. I couldn't think of a better home coming.

And I also extend my thanks to family members who have a family member over in Iraq and pray for their safe return home. Other than that, the drive in my dads vette was Awsome! I never thought about ever buying a vette but after driving one, I'm going to save money and buy one! Again thanks dad for letting me drive you toy and thank you everyone for helping me get my dad to say yes.

Glad you're back OK. Next time you're in JAX let us know and you'll have more Vettes around you than you can imagine.

He certainly has my respect.

I would loan my son anything, anytime, including my Vette ... because he's my son ... and that's much more important than any car.

A former member of 3rd recon 3rd marine div,i earned my wheel chair during TeT in 68.but no matter all my vettes have hand controlls. The finger is quicker than the foot.I know your strain.I shared it when my son went to Grenada.not as long a tour but in harms way.
thanks for putting him on the right path. I know you must be proud.

He is man enough to serve his country, so he is certainly man enough to handle the Corvette. God bless him and all the others who serve our country.

My son spent 15 mos over there. Got back in July and drove my Vette almost everyday. I think you'll be amazed at how much that experience matures them. They have a whole different outlook on life and what's important!
Tell the kid we are damn proud of them all!
