Over 100 Corvettes came out last year to show their respect and support for our Veterans. 
A Veteran's Choice Trophy will be presented to one lucky car.
A Commemorative Pin will be given to every car.
 
There is no admission fee, but each car is asked to bring 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.
