In honor of those who made the Ultimate Sacrifice, so others can reach for the Stars!

Notes

Only strong personalities can endure our history, the weak ones are extinguished by it.

 

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly;…

    My first 1/4 mile trip, 1965, (I was 16) was at the old Alton Dragway, Alton, Illinois. It was in a '57 Chevy hardtop, 283, powerglide.
