That was a great story Carl. My grandfather also served in WWII and told me stories of his time in North Africa. Sorry to hear of your fathers passing and wish you the best moving forward.

Gentlemen, thank you. To say that this project has been an inspiration is an understatement.

Jody, thank you for making this a sticky.

Chris, you are the first of what I hope are many donations. I have a stretch goal in mind and every little bit helps. Spreading the word and liking Honor Flight Camaro on Facebook will help a bunch.

Rick, get him signed up. Also, Honor Flight is open to ALL veterans, but WWII vets are the focus due to time. Younger veterans are given priority if the need arises (note from doctor/terminally ill.) It's a very noble and compasionate organization.

Jon, I may take you up on that. I have a Dodge MC that needs to go in soon!

Gave me goosebumps Carl. Words can't express the feelings once we are old enough to understand what these Veterans really endure for all of us. The debt owed is insurmountable.

God Bless you and guide your journey.

Thank you for sharing. I will spread the word, in fact with your permission I would like to speak of it at our upcoming Camaro club annual banquet Jan 5th.

If you have anything I could use, permission, objections or suggestions please email me. I will print copies of what you might send to make donations easier for folks to make. Membership expected exceeds 200 annually.

I have to ask, Is this your same red/black 68 you will be running or a different car?
