Many, many people paid a HUGE price for our freedom. Thank you, vets.

My grandfather lost his brother in WWI and is buried in France. My grandfather did serve in WWII as well as my father in law, my uncle and aunt in Korea (my uncle is still alive). Tremendous sacrifices for freedoms.


I did not serve, but recently when I was flagged down while driving my 1930, I was asked if I was interested in driving it in the East Syracuse Parade with a couple vets. I said absolutely and it was a blast. They got more laughs trying to get themselves in the car, but it was a hoot, and the public went wild while it was going down the street.

The supreme sacrifice! Gave their lives so others could live. You can’t say thank you enough times! May God bless all their souls! Wayne

The RockFord A’s Model Club paraded in the Pecatonica, Illinois Memorial Day Parade. It is the second largest parade in Illinois and was really well attended this year.

Nice. There was only 1 Model A at our parade. I'm not counting the Shay.
