Tuesday, Nov 11, 2014….Andrew met with the
Princess & I at our home and we car pooled 125 miles to Staunton, VA to
meet up with the Valley Mustangs Unlimited car club. Along the way, near Culpeper, we joined Lou
& Arlene and Fred and followed them the rest of the way to Staunton. We arrived a little early in Staunton so we
made sure the Dunkin Donuts were safe to eat….it’s a public service we perform
whenever we can. When the sinkers hit
bottom we drove to the nearby Lowe’s parking lot for a few pictures of the
Mustang club that had gathered. When all
the cruisers were accounted for we cruised to the Local VFW a few miles
away. Valley Mustangs Unlimited had
committed to donate the proceeds from the show they held in August this year to
the Fisher House Foundation. Our group,
Cruisin For Heroes, was presented with a check for $3094.12 in a ceremony in
the VFW hall. It was a moving experience
for all…. I was interviewed for a local
TV station and I don’t think I embarrassed myself too much…. The camaraderie between the Veterans and the
two ‘car’ groups was something to see and experience. The Respect was going both ways….really cool. It was a great day for all and especially for
the Fisher House Foundation. I love
this hobby
