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.

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.

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. You have told this story so well, thank you for doing this.

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.

I'm glad to see the car community giving back and hope to see lots more this year. Lance will deliver my invitation directly to Jared to further honor him at the April NASCAR Nationwide race as my client's team JD Motorsports (cars #0 and #01) honors a combat hero at each race all year. The Pentagon helps us locate the heros. I've found mine! Jared! I hope he wiill accept my invitation to be honorary team member for the day.
