I have the Gold,Silver,Bronze and Liftime Presidential Service award from President Bush. Now I need to Get a Lewis and Clark in his hands. One of our Senators (Blunt)has one of my signature hand carved Louisiana Purchase stones. And I just traded a Corp of Discovery at Lolo Pass Travelers rest for a Lewis and Clark that will follow the real route from the confluence of the Missouri in Yellowstone to St. Louis Missouri and be there on the 23rd of September. It will go with the Event CONFLUENCE WITH DESTINY Again Thank your son for his valuable volunteer service to our Nation. And thank you for rearing a proud son. Quote Link to comment
