Aug 11 Forever Free

This is part of the forever free celebration in McKinney Tx honoring wounded vets.I twas a 4th of July firecracker show that was postponed due to rain. The 091 committee and the DOD representative for the severely wounded turned it into quite a show. We had two C-130 loads of wounded greeted at the airport by several retired generals and admirals plus some locals, Patriot Guard escorts, Skydiving,Fighter and chopper flyovers,Nashville entertainers who carry the 091 logo on their banners,lots of military hardware on display and we presented a 25000 dollar iBot wheel chair to one of the veterans and are raising funds for more. All in all, not a bad way to say thank you to our troops. Reports back indicate they were very pleased and surprised at the support. The news caster got it a bit wrong but they always do.
Salute
