Title: Desert Warriors run for wounded soldiers
Post by: Punkur67 on April 15, 2011, 07:42:25 PM

Just thought I would share with all of you a new program we are doing. As many of you know I built a buggy for my wounded friend travis while he was in the hospital. (thanks again for all the support from the guys who helped!) He joined the wounded warrior program and wanted to share his interest in the desert with the other soldiers. He came up with the idea to start a program to take wounded soldiers out for a day trip. He got the soldiers and I got the cars. We have done two runs so far with great sucess. The first run Ivan Stewart came out to support the soldiers and share some cool stories. We will continue to do these and I will keep you all updated. I think the next one will be at Gordons Well some time around october.

I will. I think we will loose a few cars on the next one cause they dont go to the sand. Our last trip had a good turnout. We had 16 cars and 15 soldiers. We want to make it bigger as time goes on.
You would have loved to be there. Jessie from Jp design was there with 4 of his customers and their cars.
