Our club did an event this weekend at Mountain Home Veteran's Hospital
in Johnson City, TN.
It was the 100th Anniversary of the Hospital and is home for many of our
nation's Hero's, I must say it is one of the most beautiful places we
have ever set up at. There was a good turn out, and at the parade they
brought out the some Veterans in wheel chairs and beds to see the
procession and as we passed flying the Colors they saluted with tears in
their eyes(standing if they could manage, and as crisp as they were back
in the day). It was more than I could take, I was covered with
goosebumps from head to toe, and balling my eyes out. It just doesn't
get any better than that, they are the biggest reason we show the
vehicles.
Oh... as for the pictures, they are on the "Events" page...also check
out Tim Pierce's new Unimog by clicking on the picture of it, it's a
really nice one.
