In Memory Of May 1, 1994 Ayrton Senna Thank You For The Memories Shirt, hoodie, tank top
HUETTER — Bob Brock loves America.
So much that he’s hauling a 1955 tactical fighter beautifully painted in red, white and blue, and with a screeching bald eagle, and a 1997 Jeep Wrangler, also in patriotic colors, around the region.
“What you’re looking at here, it’s all born out of love of country,” he said Thursday afternoon at the Huetter rest stop.
He transports them with a semi and flatbed, also painted to reflect all that he holds near and dear to his heart.
It’s the “Love America” tour.
“The country’s been really good to me,” Brock said. “I’ve had my successes and failures, but I love it. I love my fellow veterans — so much sacrifice they have done.”
Brock, a Vietnam War veteran who served four years and survived the Tet Offensive, said the truck, Jeep and jet are designed “to lift up the American spirit inside of everybody.”
Brock lived in Coeur d’Alene about 20 years and sold real estate before moving with wife Jacque to her family ranch in Dixie, Wash.
His current trek started there and he’s headed to Farragut State Park for a family reunion on Saturday.
He’s bound to attract attention — and welcomes it.
“I called the park service, ‘I have something different coming in,’” he said, smiling.
Brock, wearing a Vietnam veteran hat and a white T-shirt with an American flag, wants to share his love of God, country and family.
He points to his colorful cab and the words, “The Men of El Dorado.”
There are 27 names of men from El Dorado County in California, where Brock was born and raised.
“I went to school with all those guys,” he said. “I knew them all. None of them made it back from Vietnam.
“I drive for them and everybody that loves their country in their heart,” he said.
