The work he did for charities and the entertainment tours for troops across a number of wars is just incredible. ...not to mention some of the movies. To this day I enjoy watching any of the "Road..." shows that pop up on the TV every now and then. JaTo e-Tough Guy Missouri City, TX 99 Contour SVT #143/2760 00 Corvette Coupe
