A great tribute to a great American hero. May he rest now, and may his family be blessed from this day forward.

The mechanic was caught and is serving jail time.

She also indicated that through donations there is enough to finish the truck and it appears there will be money left over that will be donated to an organization helping wounded vets.

Thanks for the info Orrie.

Thanks for the link and tell LakeR thanks for originally posting! Great to see it finished. I'm glad I got to send a donation to help them. This truck and the project will provide that family untold emotional support. Their Husband and Dad is still with them in this.
