It looks like a great idea.

My only concern is it could appear that GM was/is trying to "profit" from the support of the armed services.

Not a problem for most. I would support it.

For the AirForce can we get a golf course mural and air conditioned tents? Lol~!

Actually, its a pretty bad day here at Camp cupcake. 120 degrees, the camp is out of water ie no showers, there is a sand storm and the internet is really slow.

I think that this a good idea though. Sometimes GM should listen up. Corvettes and the military have a long relationship.

Well, a lot of guys are already putting 'hash marks' on their Vette.

Don't you know some REMF at GM would spin out an enlistedman's edition...the NCO series and on up through the grades. The limited edition 'Road Commander' Z06 would come standard with fender mounted pennants flapping smartly in the breeze.

Perhaps there is a way to approach GM with all the ideas you guys have posted, I would love to see the service men get some recognition, in this form. They sure deserve it.
You didn't finish!!! Don't forget the Navy and Air Force???? Ok, just the Navy

The Marine Corps version could have R. Lee Ermey do the voice for the NAV! I'd buy one in a minute.

No disgusting stripes involved, just some small distinguishing badges, similar to the Z06/ZR1 badge. JMO

That would be awsome....I like the 4 star badging complimented with the insignia of each branch..

Oh yeah, some extreme left wing from the press would come up with that one.
