ROLLING 9 - 11 MEMORIAL
THIS IS AMAZING WHAT THIS GUY DID
Their names are John and Amy Holmgren.
They live in Shafer, Minn. They thought that this would be a nice tribute to the people that lost their lives. It has every name of each person who 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 a while 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, North Dakota, 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!)
He plans on attending the Mid America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky.in March.
I thought our employees might enjoy seeing the pictures. It's called the Rolling 9-11 Memorial and 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.

Wow. That's really great, it actually restores my faith in Americans, in that some are actually not petty and stupid. I salute you, John and Amy.

Btw, do you have any idea what's inside the truck?

I'm amazed at not only the artwork and creativity of the idea, but the time and heart that was put into a project like this. Job well done and kudos to the creators.

Thank you for posting this. I lost a friend on Sept. 11th and I still haven't gotten over it. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him, his wife, and their daughter.
