Support The Troop Drive

OPERATION FILL THAT TRAILER

Status: Mission Completed

Saturday we held the Support the Troop Drive starting at J&A BrakeMasters in Milford that then led to Shoprite on Cherry St. in Milford. We started at around 9am when 2 hummers arrived with a good group of Troops (Iraq Veterans) to pick up our trailer.

Also when we got to the shop in the morning we noticed something rolled up on the tongue of the trailer. We opened it up and found this awesome banner that was left sometime before we showed up. Its so great to see people who care in this world. In the banner was a few cards by Hankin Print, so a big THANK YOU to them.

This is the trailer we wanted to fill.

When the Hummers showed up we had a really cool reflection of the banner in the windshield, so we had to get that shot.

Here's my Father, waiting in anticipation for the troops to show up.

This is Bob on the main person who set up and organized this drive.

Time to hook up the trailer to the Hummer.

Let me tell you these Hummers are a Bad A$$ piece of machinery.

Trailer is attached and ready to roll out. ;)

Once we arrived at Shoprite we had to set up the tents and all to get ready for the donations.

Here is the set up. The banner made a great impact.

We also had another booth set up right outside the exit of Shoprite.

When people made a donation, we had flags set up on the tables for them to sign. The troops really enjoy little messages from us back home.

The Milford Fife and Drum corps showed up as well to play some tunes, while dressed in their pirate attire.

The opposite side of the parking lot, along the street is where the Hummers, trailer and tents were set up. We were hoping to just fill the bins. Well the bins were filled, so was the trailer and half of a Hummer. It was awesome!!!!

The Troops had a great time hanging out and helping. They were an fantastic group of people. ;) Thanks to them!!!

A few people came over with full carriages as donations, it was great.

There was lots of donations along with lots of little messages on the flags for the troops overseas.

This whole drive came together because of these people. Thanks ;)

Again THANK YOU to the Troops, The Vietnam Veterans of America, and of course all the people that took a little time to show support, those are the things that still make USA a great place.
