I'm going to bypass lunch, since I'm coming from L.A. I'll be at the mercy of traffic.  I'll get a quick bite at Carl's Jr.  Thanks for looking out for me and my stomach <1

Hey Dan & Cathy,

Unfortunately, I will be skipping lunch as well.

I'll meet up with everyone at Carl's.


Aside from our Vipers and support,  is there anything else we could bring/donate for these guys?

Cathy and I visited the base today and the white Viper coupe received a lot of attention.  We went over to the Wounded Warrior Center and met some of the guys.  We spent some time looking over the center and talking cars with the guys.

I think the biggest thing that we could give these guys (that's in our budget) is a ride in our cars.  We will be trying to get a group of 12 or so Vipers to pick up wounded / recovering Marines from the Wounded Warrior Center and drive them over to the car show that will be held at the School of Infantry on the Parade Deck.  This is about a thirty minute ride and we'll need some volunteers.

We thought about T-shirts, hats, etc. but after visiting these guys today, they all wanted to sit in the Viper, hear it run and most of all get a ride in it.  They wanted to drive it too, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

The Captain in charge said that we might have between 300 and 500 Marines at the this show but as many as 2,000 could pass through, so we really can't afford to give every one of them something at this time.  Maybe next time.....

I would be infatuated to be apart of this event, please count me in! I passed Camp Pendleton yesterday on my way to SD and saw 2 f16's flying tandem, amphibious machines in play, as well as a few tanks cruising down the dirt roads off the 5! Also saw what seemed to be an Cobra Helicopter landing

[ViperX]

We saw an Osprey hovering last Friday.

The base newspaper will be covering this event and they have arranged for a couple of helicopters to fly over and take photos.

This is one big base.
