Cool - thanks for sharing and his service.

Curious as to what was his connection to Rockford IL listed on the documents? Was that were he was discharged?

Dec. 7th is not forgotten here where I live as one of the last 2 survivors of the USS Arizona, Lou Conter, lives here. He is 101 and usually attends the memorial services at Pearl Harbor every year, but his doctor advised against it this year due to the long flight and his advancing age. He watched the ceremonies via video feed.

Post A Veteran Passes...

I mentioned this gentleman last week...he made it to 100 years of age and passed away on Wednesday morning. He was a car guy and loved his baby blue 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme...very nice car with only 17k original miles.

Ed Odegard served in the US Army in Europe during the war...and was quite a character.

God speed on his journey.

Default Tribute for Ed....

We had a great event yesterday to honor the memory of Ed Odegard, WW 2 veteran and a great car guy. Our local cigar club hosted the event, good food and drink, music and a great crowd.

Ed loved his baby blue 1975 Oldsmobile...it was there for the festivities.

His daughter Paula and her husband Paul said a few words about Ed and how much he enjoyed the cigar club and his special car.

It was a nice shin-dig and a great way to pay respect to a member of the 'greatest generation'

My partner Nick created a special label for everyone to wear at the party...
