This morning I will be heading to a local Corvette event called "Vettes to Vets."
There is no admission fee but we ask each car to prepare a 'goodie bag' of items that will make the veterans comfortable on a daily basis.
These disabled veterans have given up a significant part of their lives so we may enjoy ours in complete freedom.
Over 100 cars came out last year to show their respect and support for our Veterans.
