Get a couple of hidden video cameras to catch his reaction!
Should be priceless!
Nice work!

Just a bit about my Son Michael: He really seems to be learning a lot over there. I found this article about him and his buddy really getting into the MRAP's and he didn't say anything about it!

Very cool on you and the boy, Craig! Very cool.

I can't, and like Art and many others here I have deployed like your son, think of a better welcome home present.

I simply can't

Craig, your gesture to your son is epic.

And please let him know how much his service means to many here.

Craig,
You MUST video your son's reaction when he sees his car. I bet he won't even recognize it and think you bought him an entirely different car. What a great father you are! Please tell him that we are proud of him (and you)!! Happy New Year!
