The RV Trip of a Lifetime

Thanks to a project called "Vets Roll" 128 veterans of WW II will take to the road in a "convoy" of eight donated RV's and two charter buses. They are destined for our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., to view the new WW II Memorial.

Our good friends at Finnegans' RV Center in Beloit, WI are sponsoring this RV road trip in honor of their father and other vets who were among our "Greatest Generation."

It's not costing the vets a single dime and since they will all be traveling together they will have plenty of time to exchange stories about where they served, the men they knew, the friends they lost and a war they won.

As a former Marine combat veteran and RV enthusiast myself I can appreciate what the guys at Finnegans' are doing for our vets. And to show my appreciation I plan on chipping in to help offset the $100 grand that it's estimated to cost for them to sponsor the trip. In addition to that I am placing a permanent link on this website for Finnegans' RV Center.  If you would like additional information or to make a donation visit this website.
