By Request I am posting more pictures of "HEROES TRUCK" owners Dale and Connie Ison from Hillsboro, Ohio. This is the most magnificent Truck Ever!!! If you ever have the chance to view this work of art you will not be disappointed. The Artist Micky Harris done an outstanding job!!! Since the Anniversary of 9-11 is this Thursday may we take time to remember our "HEROES" Past and Present and hold fast to the FREEDOM they have sacrificed their time, families and even their LIVES FOR US AND FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY....MAY GOD BLESS OUR "HEROES" AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

I HAD THE PRIVILAGE OF MEETING DALE AND CONNIE ISON FROM HILLSBORO, OHIO THE PROUD OWNERS OF THE "HEROES TRUCK"

I AM NOT A BIG TRUCK FAN, BUT I WANTED TO SEE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO HONOR OUR TROOPS, PAST AND PRESSENT. YOU SEE OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. MY SON HAS SERVED 13 MONTHS IN IRAQ AND IS DUE TO SERVE ANOTHER TERM. SO I HEADED TO K-MART PARKING LOT THIS AFTERNOON WHERE "CRUISIN ON MAIN" WAS FEATURING "HEROES TRUCK".

DALE AND CONNIE WERE SO SWEET AND I HAD A VERY NICE CONVERSATION WITH CONNIE AND I TOLD HER HOW MUCH I APPREICATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO HONOR OUR TROOPS, OF COURSE I HAD TO TELL HER ABOUT MY SON AND SHE SAID "TELL YOUR SON WE ARE PROUD OF HIM"

THE TRUCK IS A 1999 CHEVROLET WITH A CADILLAC CIIP. THE COST WAS APPROXIMATELY $650,000 TAKING 5 YEARS TO COMPLETE. TIME SPENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,0000 HOURS AND SOME 1200 AIRBRUSH HOURS DONE BY ARTIST, MICKY HARRIS. THE SCENES ARE SO LIFE LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF. THE 9-11 SCENES TOUCH MY HEART THE MOST AND THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL, THE TWIN TOWERS WERE JUST AWSOME!! IT HAS 11 TELEVISION SCREENS WITH VIDEO CLIPS OF 9-11 FIREMEN AND VARIOUS SCENES.

CONNIE TOLD ME THEY HAD BEEN IN 30 SOME STATES SO IF YOU ARE WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE "HEROES TRUCK" YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PICTURE EVEN THO THEY DO NOT COME CLOSE TO SHOWING THE TALENT DISPLAYED.

I TOOK CHILDREN AND ONE GRANDCHILD TO LUCH AT WEAVERS HOT DOGS ONE OF THE BEST HOT DOGS IN KENTUCKY. WE TALKED TO THE OWNER DREW WEAVER, HE TOLD US THAT HIS FATHER OPENED WEAVERS IN 1940 WITH HIS OWN SECRET RECIPE. MR. WEAVER AND HIS WIFE ARE STILL SERVING THIS GREAT CHILI ON THE BEST HOT DOGS IN TOWN. THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY ON THE WALLS, PICTURES FROM 1940'S ON UP. JUST A UNQUE PLACE TO EAT.

There is always fun to have at the shooting range, nice to get ready for deer season, turkey season or both. It is aways nice to visit Laurel Lake. They have a beautiful Camp Ground, and some of the sites are along the Lake where you can tie up your Boat close to your Camp site. Laurel Lake is just a Great place to Vacation or just a great get away even if it is just for a day.
