Thank you for your service, and....Welcome Home!!

I served with the First Air Cavalry in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. Currently own my third Corvette. The first didn't come until my kids were grown and out of the nest.

Retired Chief Master Sergeant, Air Force 1978-2007. Owned a few used Vettes during that time; bought my first (and to date only) new one as an early retirement gift to myself in 2006.

I spent a lot of time with my Grandfather when I was young! He was an MP in the US ARMY during WW2. I served with great pride. I served to say thank you for all Vets that came before me!
