Thank You to All Veterans!

Posted on November 11, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

I just watched the movie “America” by filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza. It shouldn’t take a movie to help us realize the great contribution to freedom that this country and its Armed Forces have made. On behalf of the team here at Factory Five Racing, I would like to send a message of thanks to all veterans of the US Armed Forces on this Veterans Day.

We keep a symbol of this in our showroom to remind us that we live in a great and free country by virtue of the sacrifices made by our military. Thanks, and to all Veterans, have a peaceful and safe Veterans Day.
