Just one question "Forever Proud" Are y'all interested in adopting a 43 year old Marine? :D Thanks for giving us your son! I think it is awsome what y'all are doing for him.

Kudos on a great welcome home present. You guys could always put an ad on your local craigslist with items you are looking for. When folks hear of what you are doing, I think you will get a great response. Semper Fi.

Thats very nice.....
I am past deployment age....but I will take a trip and come back if I can get someone to do that for me.....
Any takers.....
I'm house trained....have all my shots....don't ask for too much....and I'll stay on the porch....unless I had a toy like that.
In all seriousness...wishing your son well....and post the Kodak moment when he see his refurbished new ride.

I can remember when I returned home from Korea. My Dad had fixed up his 1950 Mercury sled and sold it to me for $800.00 which was a good price even back then.
Had dual carbs molded hood and molded door handles. Also had 50 thousants milled off the heads. A very heavy car and wish I still had it.
