What you guys are doing for this Young Marine is ABSOLUTELY GREAT.If anyone deserves a helping hand it sounds like he does!I would love to see the look on his face when he is presented with the Camaro when it is all finished! Also look forward to seeing and hearing more about this story as it moves forward.

Thanks

Bobby

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
