Hooah.

I'm pretty THICK SKIN in more ways than most

As a Veteran, as with ALL Veterans who served; so that the haters could have thier freedom of speech ......

But I do take it very serious when someoone questions my Patriotism and how I decide to do it!

I wrote it before the idea came from seeing a Camaro here on www.camaro5.com under the SEMA pictures thread, I just put my own design to it!

God Bless You!

Now, all the way up I-95 North to DC, I would have cars pulling along side of VETERAN 1 to take photos, but if this guy in the video learns of this contest, and post his pictures , he should be declared the winner!!

Video was taken as I just entered into Virginia!

WATCH the WHOLE VIDEO to find out WHY!

9SevenSS · 05-27-2010, 10:56 PM

For those on FACEBOOK, you can read the story and see the photos (wink) done by the 82ND AIRBORNE PARAGLIDE , which appears next week in print

Fallen Warrior Tribute Camero "Veteran 1"
By 82nd Airborne Division
9 photos

Staff Sgt. (retired) Kelly Fromm, a native of Daytona Beach, Fla., redecorated his 2010 Camaro Super Sport, a former show car, after being inspired by his local community honoring a fallen 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper.

Just a month after donning it's new patriotic vinyl wrap, Fromm visited the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, N.C., with his tribute car, May 27, while making his way to Washington, D.C., for Memorial Day weekend.

The tribute car, Veteran I, draws much attention from passersby.

"It provides an emotional punch," said Fromm. "That's what I was going after."

In addition to its exterior visual appeal, Veteran I also has a flat screen and upgraded speaker system in the back. Opening the trunk and playing a patriotic song and video certainly adds to Veteran I's "emotional punch."

Fromm recently displayed Veteran I at the Wounded Warrior Project car show in Jacksonville, Fla., where he said the emotion visible.

"Nine out of Ten people had some type of tear in their eyes after they walked away from the car," he said.

While people do offer to donate money, Fromm does not promote any one veteran's organization, but hopes those who are inspired to give by Veteran I will donate to the organization of their choice.

"I want to remind people of the sacrifice of those who have served so they never forget," Fromm said.

While Fromm, a former 82nd Paratrooper, gave the car a distinctly All-American flavor, he also intended it to honor all veterans and fallen warriors.

Kelly,
Thanks again for swinging by the Pentagon. I'll load up some pics when I get home... super ride and super uniform...that's gotta be a winning combo...right?? =]

thespymaster · 05-28-2010, 03:59 PM

Some more images of my road trip to DC and while in DC.

Today, driving on hollowed ground of the ANC was a very heartfelt moment for me and every American should at least visit the ANC once in thier lifetime.

For those serving in harms way, stay safe and thank you for your service to Country!

I snapped this pic of Veteran 1 (with the Super 5 wheels) today in front of Arlington National Cemetary during Rolling Thunder. 400,000+ bikes, 500,000+ spectators, and only 1 Camaro - Veteran 1!

Spymaster, as a currently serving 19 year vet, I want to thank you for the opportunity to see this beautiful car as a moving memorial.
