Hey everyone! Give the guys at the Classic Glass Corvette Club out of Marietta, Georgia a pat on the back for following suit and prettying-up Sgt. First Class Adam Troxel’s Corvette! http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/01/17/corvette-club-steps-up-and-honors-a-returning-soldier/

Stopped in to revisit this wonderful experience and hoping everyone will keep the momentum going by saying thank you in similar ways to the men and women who have bravely given of themselves to keep us safe. Semper Fi.

[...] Last but not least, I want to share a few more pictures of Corporal Foster’s newly redone Camaro. He was out proudly cruising his new ride with Lance Baker from the 1st Generation Camaro club near by. That Viper blue paint they used really pops in the sun. If you didn’t get a chance to read the heart warming story of this car and the soldier it was built for, CLICK HERE to read the story. [...]

As many of you may know, I helped coordinate the event along with John Bauler and various individuals from our club, the First Generation Camaros of Arizona, as well as a few members from The Cactus GTO car club. I was the person basically handling the logistics of this entire project and I can tell you this—there was no lack of support from the citizens of this country. It was stunning to see the amount of financial support we received, as well as the support from the parts industry. I personally have never seen a group of people this large and this focused on rewarding one of our soldiers—and Corporal Foster was the conduit to those many others that are serving as we speak. Through his sacrafice, we could honor them all, by just helping him. And he is a great guy !!! He’s a class act and I can truly say we are taking care of one well-deserving young man. For everyone that contributed to this project, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. More pics of the event are available at: http://hotrodplanet.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

I was at this event….great turn-out and it was awesome to see something being done for a returning injured war veteran. Remember, THESE KIDS volunteered to go fight for what they believe in! We all can be VERY PROUD of these young people!

The Vets are our heroes, but those who support them are a huge part of helping them wake up everyday to the hell that they’re in and feel motivated to do the job that their country sent them to do. What an awesome thing you folks have done. Thanks for doing it! Mark Randall- Formerly OS2 Randall USN USS Fletcher DD-992 1988-1992

You have told this story so well, thank you for doing this. You were the only family I spotted riding in a roadster that afternoon how fun. I spent the day helping with the parking
so I saw just about everyone who came in. What a great crowd I spoke with so many nice people. The support for this young man was just overwhelming. I believe Lance and John left us with a challenge Sunday. That is to reach out and say thank you to other Vets with broken bodies and shattered dreams. Bless them all.

Thanks to everyone who’s commented on this story. I’m grateful to be able to tell this story and I second the feeling that all returning service men deserve our thanks and appreciation. I hope this story and these notes show all of you we care. Keep the comments coming!

What a fantastic project to give to a generous and brave man. Semper Fi!! I am forwarding this to Qatar and to Iraq. The AZ Street Machines in Tucson would like to thank Corp. Foster for his service to our country. To all who participated in this project, you are special people who have demonstrated the American tradition of helping your neighbor.

Lets not forget there are many other Vets out there that could use some encouragement!
