A tribute to Jordan and our Veterans

[TheAxeman]

I decided to make my 1953 Dodge M37 Power Wagon into a rolling tribute to my son Jordan and all of our honored Veterans so I brought it to our local Votech. The kids had worked on a late model Humvee for the local National Guard so I thought they should see the contrast between the old and the new. These great kids worked hard on the truck and then to put the icing on the cake they brought in one of the top airbrush artists in the country to dress it up a little bit. Its not done yet but its a super start.

Thank you all for your service to our country.... None of us would be here without you.

Things like this restore my faith that America will continue to do well.

This is a good thing, Chris.

Chris,

I lead a team of peeps at my work.

I requested they each find a Vet, and personally Thank them for service.

Each promised to do so.

And I will ask them Tuesday.

As such, I salute Jordan, and you.

Dang Chris...I'm just amazed at the positive drive you have. That is cool, and those kids are doing an amazing job. More importantly though, none of them will ever forget what they got to work on.this it will define a part of their lives. As it should!

God bless our soldiers and their families.

While I agree with you whole heartedly about the importance of remembering and thanking our veterans, let’s not forget about the “other” veterans as well.

To the parents (like yourself) that have had to deal with the lost of a child.

To the spouse that deals with loneliness of deployment.

To the children who just want their parent to make their game or be there for their birthday.

The sacrifices made by the veterans AND their families are what make us great

To all of these I say THANK YOU. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Very touching, nice way to represent your son. It's not just the Vet but also his family that needs a big Thank You!

What a wonderful way to remember Jordan! I carry his memory with me as well when I ride. Gratitude doesn't seem enough... thank you to all the vets, both those still with us and those who have given all...

That's awesome Chris.

Thanks to all out veterans, past and present, for your service to our country. To you, and your families - who also bear the sacrifice, I humbly thank-you for your service.

Freedom is not free, and you have payed with your time, your labor, your blood, and, in some cases,your last full measure.

Thank-you.
