Looks good, both the Vette and your web site. Just wondering, where is the memorial pictured in some of the pictures you have of your Vette? Thanks, Andy

The Armed Forces Memorial is officialy known as "Veterans Memorial Walk" and is located in O'Fallon, Missouri (about 40 miles west of St. Louis) Here is a little info.
The Walk, as the memorial is commonly known, was dedicated one year ago on Veterans Day.
The signature piece of the memorial is a platoon of bronze boots, 64 pairs installed left foot forward, as though marching. A lone pair of boots has been placed before the standard of the POW/MIA flag, in recognition of the American soldiers who remain missing in the field.
The platoon of boots is flanked by five towering, stainless steel and white granite monoliths bearing the seal of each of the five branches of the Armed Forces – the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.
