Welcome! Vettes to Vets began in 2004 when Ron Morneau, a proud corvette owner and member of the Second Corps Cadets Veterans Group, asked the Corvette community to help support sick and injured troops who have given up so much. The first event was a success with twenty-five cars and “Vettes to Vets” has been cruising to the hospital each year with much-needed personal supplies and increasing in numbers ever since.

WOW --- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you !
Once again, the Corvette community has shown its true colors. You folks are the most generous and patriotic I’ve ever met. Mother Nature tried to make us miserable again. It did not work. The Corvettes came “pouring” in from all over the northeast, from uppermost New York state and Vermont, south to Pennsylvania, to the tip of Cape Cod. You had smiles on your faces and emptied your trunks and pockets to support the patients. They really enjoyed themselves and appreciate all you do for them. Joe Dooley and I estimate that the value of your contributions this year will come close to $30,000. I had to run the numbers several times to believe them. This is considerably more than last year with about the same number of cars (about 200 Corvette owners).

Corvettes and their owner’s generosity are the visual focal point of the event, but so many others make huge contributions. The Marriott in Billerica is so supportive and helpful as well as the Middlesex Sheriff’s motorcycle group. The Paul Revere Chapter of the Air Force Association was prepared to feed 1200 people. (Thanks again to Corvette folks for really helping defray the food cost). Thank you to Channel 5 for reporting on our success and to the hospital staff for all their support, including the amazing music performed by Mass Exodus. The Mass Honor Guard, Col. Poppe and Col. Orr deserve thanks for their participation and support. And, of course, my CREW for their enthusiastic help. The thank you list could go on and on to so many businesses who contributed

The patients at the hospital gave up a lot for our freedoms. You should all feel proud of what you’ve given back to say Thank You!
Once again – Thank you all for what you continue to do in Honor of our Veterans.

Ron and the CREW
