What an honor to be among giving people. The classic car community JC Hackett and the folks that come out and see the cars have done it again. $32,000 raised for Shriners Childrens Hospital. Kruisers for Kids provides bikes for these beautiful children. Thank you to everyone involved it is better to give then to receive…
Saturday at Lagoon Park. Labor Day starts the count down of Summer days. If you are thinking of blowing up your summer with a bash at Lagoon Park then you will see me there. I will be with 50 other classic cars set up inside the park. Sorry you have to purchase entry fee but if you are going there anyway I will be there! Should be fun come on up! I will have Gunship Winnebago and Little Glory the Jeep. Saturday September 3rd.
I will be at Magna,Utah VFW show on Monday Labor Day September 5th. Wonder what I will drive out to that one? Yes of course the Jeep will be there but what else?
I can’t thank Commemorative Air Force Utah Wing, Colonial Flag, Queen of Wraps and of Course Kaiser Willys enough for their support for our campaign. This was a fun event and all the particpants were very generous and so very nice. I sure hope to see many of them again this year and perhaps during my cross country trip! Enjoy the video and stay in touch everyone. If you didn’t make this event make the next one. Ohra…
Special Thanks to Otis for the drone/video work at Brokenbranchez Productions! BTW that is Otis’s Jeep right there in Battle Ship Gray.
Pleas all Jeeper’s send me your photos, I want to see and post more! Thank you all so much.

A great time was had during my visit to Paul, Idaho and the Les Schwab tire dealer. This independantly owned location at Paul, ID is owned by the Twiss family and they sponsored Gartforvets.org with (4) new tires for Little Glory. After meeting and greeting everyone at the dealership, it was time to go out and meet the public. This also gave the Captain and Little Glory a chance to get a look at a section of the trail which will be used during the cross country trip next year.
August 26th Boomerfest Wallsburg, Utah
The Captain will be here June 26th to meet and be with all the patriots at Dick Erickson’s Ranch. I will have Gunship Winnebago and Little Glory the Jeep that will cross the USA! Come have a look and meet me.
First time deployed…Gunship Winnenago “Marines Dream” at the VFW car show on 8/20/22. Little Glory is beside her and both will cross the USA May 23 to July 26 2023. The Captain will be driving the Jeep all the way and a crew of veterans will be driving the Gunship as the Command Post which will act as the CP at each event location during the cross country trip.
Army, Marines, Navy, family update!
Now here this… Arne and Suzanne have followed up with the Captain as ordered. Check these photos out!
Captain meets the Green Berets. Big, strong and young. This is the best of the best. America’s strength is reflected in great men like this. Meet Albert. He is not just Army strong he is a Green Beret. What an honor to meet Albert and his wife. Both have served us since 2004. Yes, she is the support network behind Albert who is and has been on the front lines. Albert did a tour in “The Crack” of Iraq 2004-05 and in Africa 2019. Albert serves with the 19th Special Forces and he will retire in 2024 at the very top of our mighty enlisted ranks as a Sergeant First Class. I hope to see Albert and his wife again at future events. Albert presented the Captain with his Special Forces pin that I will carry with me when I cross the United States for our veterans. Check it out below. Thank You Albert.
VFW State Commander Therral Curtis. Pleasure meeting our VFW representative. Therral served us all in the US Navy and did the whole nine yards as we say, retired US Navy. Thank You Chief for your support and for promoting and leading our VFW. We have so much work to do to keep our veterans cared for, appreciated and engaged. Our mission puts our veterans first, and seeks to promote patriotisim, love of country and our history of which our veterans are so much apart of. Therral was kind enough to present the Capatain with his challenge coin and Commander’s pin.
Meet Mark US Army Sergeant 1st Class served 1985-2010. Mark served all over the world from Panama to the Middle East. His Mom is a Patriot who served as well and she was the first to establish the “Healing Field” in Utah when she started a flag field for her son Mark when he deployed to the Middle East.
