Dallas Area - Crossing of America- Spirit of Liberty Event- Details

The details for DFW are finally coming together. Here is the first and it if very needed. I would like to get a ton of people out there to welcome them in.

At about 2:00 Pm on July 3rd the Liberty Jeeps from the Crossing of America will cross the State line into Texas. I have arranged for them to be escorted by the Gainesville Police Department. I would love to have gathering of Jeeps there. We plan to meet at the Texas tourist center just inside the State of Texas on the South bound side. We will be there at about 1:30 pm this is a tentative time and may change a little later this week. It should be very close though. This is great opportunity to show support for our Wounded men and Women. If you will be there please let me know.

I was thinking after we get them into Dallas we could go grab a bite to eat somewhere and do kind of a meet and greet type thing. Who's in?

Details for the main event can be found at:

Really need a showing of State support here.  Just come out, bring flags, kiddos, let's show these people and our Nation the support they should get.  I though once we get them into Dallas we could have a meet and greet and grab a bite somewhere.  I would like to see some of Dallas TX4WD there.  Other groups have one or two coming But I think we can do better.

Also, I need someone to go into Q Cars in Irving and Work him into getting more done.  Try to get all the details for the event and maybe develop a relationship with a Jeep dealer.  we have great one here in Houston Area.

Do you have any idea how many people will be in the group for the meet and greet when you reach the Dallas area?

No idea yet.  I need people to reply with "YES I WILL BE THERE!"  Right now I have only 3 vehicle committed and about 10 people.  Sad number and I hope to get more.

I'm a tentative YES.  I'm working the tractor pulls Sat night and plan on being available for this Sunday afternoon.

I know they plan on stopping by my store Tue or Wed but He wasn't sure what day they would be in Fort Worth.
 

I spoke with Steve at Q cars briefly on Friday, so far I understand the Spirit Jeeps will be there on Wednesday next week after 12pm. Local media will be there between noon and 2pm. I will see if I can reach him today to get more details.

Kinda hard fir us working folks to show up in the middle of the day during the week.

Our San Antonio location is having a big event with the media etc. They will be coming here on the 5th or 6th. If I can get details I will postem

Puddin,  They are driving across the US.  While only weekend events would be nice,  It is impossible.  The event would never end.  There are going to weekday events.  That is just the nature of the beast.  The State Line event is on a Sunday.

Cliff,  they will be at the San Antonio branch on July 9th from 11am-3pm  We have some wounded soldiers, Generals, and the mother of the 1000 person killed in Iraq diving the Jeeps.
 
Edit:  Added tonight is a BBQ competition team cooking lunch and music.  30-40 Jeeps and police escort from Boerne Texas tot he Store.

Cliff we will be hitting up all the DFW stores in one day.  July 5th.

A little bit more forewarning would have been nice. I would like to have attended, but I work on weds. I may be able to do the thing on the 5th, but im not sure I see the point in hitting up every single 4wp store in the area if theres only gonna be one day to do it in.
 
I would also like to have done the roll in, but again, work and plans are already in place.

A better way to make sure an event happens the way you would like it is to take it over and plan it when people are asking for help.  You know, I have asked for help on this for quite a while now.  Since WFTW.  I am still exhausted from the work I do with that but I managed to muster up quite a bit in a very short time in a very large state with a time schedule to fit the JEEPS not you.  Between this and WFTW I will have put over 2400 miles on the road in 2 weeks.  I have had very little support in the Dallas area on this and lots of complaints , more than just here so I am not just saying DFW-TX4WD.  Several, not just one, club dropped the ball back on me.  We in the lower half do not see this an inconvenience.  Sitting in a sand box for year and coming home without your legs is an inconvenience.  For us, this was Dare and i will be damned we beat it.  I am sorry if you guys feel like you did not have time to prepare, but we had little as well.  In fact, I spent over 8 hours on a phone today working on the lower half of the state and now, tomorrow, will do the same for the upper half. I guess I am more of take control and get the job done type, I am not going to sit around, let others do the work for me.  I made a commitment to follow through with this, and I have.

Those who would like to help.....Voice up.  It is appreciated more than you know.
 
And, they are hitting every 4 wheelparts store they can because of the amount work, product, and money they donate to our troops and our wounded military.  they are one of the largest supporters of this event and of our Wheelers for the Wounded.  They send many thousands of dollars overseas to help our troops stay safe and donate lots of money to wounded veteran transition units.  So, yes, if possible, I personally would like to stop at everyone and thank them.

Chansuke,
 
We through together a huge event at the 4 wheelparts in San Antonio in less than 12 hours today.  If you can get something like that done on the 5th, I am sure we can manage to hit less and spend more time at one.  What store has the most parking, how many 4x4's can you get out there.  Can you get food and drink, BBQ etc?

im a noob to tx4wd but I will be there sunday for the drive in.

I'll be there. I have been to every WFTW event in Marble Falls, and was one of the trail guides this year., and will do the same next year, and the year after that, etc. I have a longtime friend that has been in Iraq for 3 yrs, and just went to Afghanistan for up to a year. Another  buddy just got back from Afghanistan. I don't do it to be active in the club for say, I do these events because I was raised in a military family and have a personal reason to be involved in these events.

Call me Sunday.  We will get together on this.  Due tot he turn out we may loose the police escort.  Not sure on that yet.  I will find out tomorrow but it will still be cool.
 
Also, thanks for coming to WFTW and supporting it.  I have been involved with the it since it was idea.  Wait for next year.  We have some awesome news coming Soon.
