Very neat you get to meet so many different people through these cars. Can't thank you enough for the sacrifice you and your loved ones have made to service our country.
I also love your patch. I am sure there are many of us here that would love to own one.
Welcome home and enjoy your car again

Maybe one of the Veteran groups could pursue as a money maker for one of their great programs?
Thanks for posting, thanks for serving, and welcome home. I was thinking some Corvette guys from GM should really be liking this story . . . unless they want to go after the vendor who made the patch.
