Awesome, just awesome!!! I agree with DaveD! Not very many people would do such a thing, and it seems like we as Veterans get "put to the side" quite a bit. I think that if this will help lift the family and the Vet's spirits even if just a little, then it is well worth it!

This thing is sweet. I love meaning behind it. I wish I had one that I dared to chop and customize. Do you own a jeep also? (it just doesn't look like this is the first time you've done this)
