Beautiful Truck / Tribute

[Her454]

Anyone Ever Seen This?
..This Common Carrier brought us a frozen load of Gilroy Foods today. This truck was awesome. You can decide whether or not it is. Here is some info I took down after talking with the owner operator.
Their names are John & Amy Holmgren. They live in Shafer Minn. They thought this would be a nice tribute to the people that lost their lives.
It has every name of each person that lost their life on 9-11. This concept was thought up by John and Amy, and totally paid for by them. John says he will be awhile paying the loan off that he had to take out to do it but, thought this was the least he could do. Applied Graphics in Fargo ND did most of the work and Paul Kosenski did the Hand painting.
He said that he got to meet the Country Singer Darryl Worley, who Sang the song "Have You Forgotten" and has gotten pulled over 3 times by the police just to get their picture taken by this truck. (I would have pulled him over too!!)
He plans on attending the Mid America Truck show in Louisville KY in March. I thought our employees may enjoy seeing the pics. It is called the Rolling 9-11 Memorial, it has all the names of the people that were killed on that day and the flights they were on plus some other graphics on the side of the Tractor

Ask those opposed to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It didn't take them long

I think that truck is awesome - I admire those that helped in the effort and the determination of the owners to keep the message fresh and alive.
I admire guys like OG for his graphics on his boat so that those who see it, they will "Never Forget" the events of 9/11.
I admire every soldier in the American Military and wish them Godspeed and a safe return home to their families.
I admire the men and women who have lost their lives in the war in Afganistan and Iraq and those who have been injured.
I admire the families who have sacrificed.
I do not, however, admire those who make an attemt to say that the events of 9/11 have been forgotten by people who did not support the war effort in Iraq. While I completely support 1000% the efforts in Afganistan, I did not support the effort in Iraq. Since we have committed troops to that area and we are there, I want those men and women to get in and get the job done and get home to their families asap. Iraq is completely messed up right now, and we need to control it or else we'll lose many more soliders. I place the blame squarely on the top levels of our Government and the military planners. We should all be asking ourselves as the fatalities continue to rise, what is wrong over there? I want to know!
I am as much an American as the next guy, but I'll be damed if someone implies I am anyless American because I question the Iraq war. As an American, I am given that right. And so are you.

Traci, That is quite moving, brought a tear to my eye. We better not ever forget what those bastards did to us that day. It is a crying shame that a large part of our population do not realize we are in a struggle for our lives. If given a half a chance those bastards would not think twice to do it again. Thanks for posting.

I completely agree with your statement, and by quoting that comment, my feelings are directed to those that are opposed and are publicly negative while our troops are there. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but I feel if our troops are there, we cant change that now, and regardless of opinion, we need to support them not try and bring them down.
Not speaking for Scream, but I am assuming that was the intent also.

I could not agree with your comments more! Thank you for saying it better than I!

058, I will never ever forget and I try and pass things like this along when I receive them. I am a firm believer in the thought that they will in fact try this again on American Soil and I think that forgetting is very very dangerous.

Wow.................
I am speechless...........

Nice tribute to some great american heros.

[welk2party]

[Her454]

I keep taking another peek at this truck, I think this would bring me to tears if I saw it rolling down the road.
