I saw the red oxide Ford yesterday (Friday) Heading north on on the freeway. It was around sunset where I55 and I39 intersect. The truck looked great especially the lettering on the back of the cab that read "From Baghdad to the hunnert car pileup". Good luck boys and dress warm.

 

What an inspiring speech. I'm glad I was able to witness it today at the meet & greet at the Pile-up.

 

Awesome meeting you (briefly) today. Thanks so much for your service!

 

Great speech,and Kevin was right (however deserving),it`s everyone together that donated their time and $$$ that made it such a success.

 

Great seeing you at the Meet and Greet. Thanks for your Service and dedication. It was Cool to hear about the Hot Rodders you served with.
God Bless you and Your Family.

 

Semper Fi is a Marine thing which means Always Faithful and is a time honored way of greeting fellow Marines but it applies to you guys also and it was great seeing you at the Hunnert.

Thought I would post a few pics up of the occasion. It was pretty cool.

 

Wanted to share my pictures of this awesome occasion I had been so lucky to attend. Thank you for all you do!

 

It was Great to meet Graverobber 8!!!

 

Kool, thanks to everyone in the armed forces. You are all thought about and prayed for when your overseas and on home land!!!!! God bless you all!!!!!

 

beautiful
I was there. I am so glad I was able to experience this moment, it defines what america is: Cars, love of our country & friendship.

This meant more to me, because my dad just p***ed. He was a Vietnam vet who suffered from too much agent orange exposure. Thank you for your service.

 

It was awesome. I'm just glad I was able to muster my composure in front of all of you. I can't begin to tell you guys how much this meant to me.

 

I'm sorry I missed the ceremony, but this is truly amazing.

I had another soldier who had just returned from Iraq and was at the Pileup tell me that listening to my band's CD (Hot Rod Hucksters) while on patrol is one of the things that got him through Hell. I was blown away.

 

As silly as this sounds, I don't have internet at the Apt yet, so I am just checking out the thread. WOW!

I was as humbled to say those words, as I was to open the boxes in Iraq. Wondering how, and truly touched. It was an honor to stand in front of the HAMB Meet and Greet audience at the HCPU and present Kevin with the key. I'm just blown away by the good will and generosity from great citizens with patriotic pride!!!

A heartfelt thanks to everyone that attended, those that couldn't, those that wished us well on our journey, and most importantly to all you HAMBrs that made the "Operation Christmas" a huge success for the HAMB. All that I can ask is to keep it going, you make a difference in our lives and help bring a little piece of home to us when it seems that everything is taken away.

Very Respectfully,
