A great tribute to a great American hero. May he rest now, and may his family be blessed from this day forward.

Thanks for the link and tell LakeR thanks for originally posting! Great to see it finished. I'm glad I got to send a donation to help them. This truck and the project will provide that family untold emotional support. Their Husband and Dad is still with them in this.
