I'd say you're a vet! Thank you for your service and in your case you survived in a big way! Never liked how the Vietnam vets were treated when they returned home.. Glad people have finally realized the sacrifices you made..

Never saw so much brass in my life.
Three volleys, Three reports. God knows those Marines deserved it.
Pucker factor was a little high that day.

Thanks Ray, I agree the Vietnam Vet wasn't treated very well. But its always good when someone comes up and says thanks for your service. As I told Craig I did 128 military funerals in 2013 and I see a lot of the Vietnam Vets.
passing away and I often wonder what they went through in Vietnam, some never got over it.

Will from Ohio, thanks for your welcoming me to this Elio site. I'm retired with 30yrs in auto manufacturing. I have been to the plant where the Elio will be built many times when I worked for General Motors, its a great plant to build the Elio at. With all of the people on board to build this car, it will happen.

Hopefully, you can provide some insight to some of the production issues and dispel some of the rumors
