The presentation was absolutely perfect. Numerous news channels were there and there should be some great video of the presentation. I will post it as soon as they get it on their websites. Cpl Foster was stunned and very appreciative. The car was stunning, the setting awesome, inside the Confederate, I mean Commemorative Air Force Hangar. Several thousand people were there and a couple hundred cars for the show. Cpl Foster was told he had to see a Col to get his official outbrief for his medical retirement. He showed in uniform, and was obviously shellshocked. Members of the Camaro club blocked his view of the car until it was unveiled. If photobucket ever downloads the photos I will post a few tonight. A few SYC members were on hand as well, you may see a car or two you recognize from the pavillions as well. A really good turnout for a good cause, thanks to all of you from this board who contributed $$ or parts. It went to a great cause, Cpl Foster said he was going to sleep in it tonite. 30+ family members were on hand and at least four local tv stations, as well as a few "muscle car" magazine staff members. Pics to follow

Man, that is fantastic. While the federal government and the V.A. is choosing to ignore our war veteran heroes real Americans know how to thank them for their service and sacrifice. I wish we could do that for all our vets.

Man that was so COOL! It brought tears to my eyes just to see the video.I can't begin to imagine what this Marine has been through being shot with a 50 caliber and especially at such a close range.It has to be a miracle for him to be walking on his own.God Bless Corporal Foster and all the GREAT FOLKS THAT HELPED HIM GET THIS DREAM ACCOMPLISHED!
