My Family

This post is short. It’s not part of my 2012 effort to post 1 or more posts per week (even though I have said I’d post 2 this week). This is simply news about my family.

My brother-in-law, CPT Bruce Hays was killed in Afghanistan in September, 2008. Before he deployed, he bought his wife an anniversary present, a beat up old 1959 Chevy pick-up truck. He paid a local mechanic nearly $20,000 to fix it up. The mechanic pocketed the 20k, and skipped town. The following is a story about what happened next. Be sure to view the news clip, as well!
