VETERANS CACHE
This is a virtual cache located at a Veterans Memorial Park. Go to the old warbird and look at the numbers on the tail. The password for this cache are in the tail numbers. Write down the largest two letters and the three largest numbers (i.e. JP732). Email me the required password for verification.. GeoCacher Tim Usko met several Vietnam Vets at this cache when he was tagging it in September 2009 and found this website - http://12tfw.org/. Please visit this website and click onto 12 TFW Memorial for more infomation about this Memorial. The entire site is pretty interesting stuff. "All gave some and some gave all" We really need to remember that.... "Thank You" to all the Veterans who have served their country well!!!!!!

We stopped on the way to Caρon City for my Star wars event, we had to make a stop and get this Virtual cache. and we got to help a fellow travel as his wheel fell off across the street from this one. What a crazy day to have a wheel fall off your truck. The kids liked going around and looking at the different helicopters and the other items around.

- The first time I got a universal remote control I thought to myself, "This changes everything".

After nearly 3 weeks on the Road in the US, we make our last stop over in Canon City to see the Royal Gorge Bridge - and yet another magnificent piece of America. On the Road from Colo Springs we found a few caches ..........
Respect to all the fallen in the Vietnam War
Thanks and greetings from Denmark

I dropped Jenn off at Stony Pass this afternoon so she can do the last 93 miles or so of the Colorado Trail. I'll pick her up next Saturday at the end of the trail near Durango.

On my way back to Colorado Springs, I stopped to find a select few caches, including this one.

I've driven past this one so many times in the last few months while going to resupply Jenn, or taking her to and from the trail when our friend was about to die. I love F-4s and think they are the best-looking fighter jet of all time. It was after 11 pm when I was passing by here again, but I decided to take the time to finally stop and do this cache.

Required answers have been sent.

I had planned to visit the memorial site because the Huey, UH-1, is a bonus site on this year's Tour of Honor motorcycle ride. The cache was an unexpected bonus. Answer sent.
