911 Unusual Memorial

I just wanted to give credit where it's due. I hadn't seen this on the forum before, and wanted to honor the family. I got this from a guy at work.

I thought this truck was awesome. You can decide whether or not it is. Here is some info I took down after talking with the owner operator. Their names are John & Amy Holmgren. They live in Shafer, Minn. They thought this would be a nice tribute to the people that lost their lives.

It has every name of each person that lost their life on 9-11. This
concept was thought up by John and Amy, and totally paid for by them. John says he will be awhile paying the loan off that he had to take out to do it but, thought this was the least he could do. Applied Graphics in Fargo ND did most of the work and Paul Kosenski did the hand painting.

He said that he got to meet the Country Singer Darryl Worley, who sang the song "Have You Forgotten" and has gotten pulled over 3 times by the police just to get their picture taken by this truck. (I would have pulled him over too!!)

It is called the Rolling 9-11 Memorial, it has all the names of the people that were killed on that day and the flights they were on plus some other graphics on the side of the Tractor.

Sorry for the length of this post, I just felt he deserved to have people be able to see it.

What an awesome man. It's nice to see that there are still decent people in this world that I think has gone to heck.

They certainly shouldn't have difficulty getting clients...should have that loan paid in no-time.
