Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

The Rolling 9-11 Memorial, it has all the names of the people that were killed on that day and the flights they were on plus some other graphics on the side of the Tractor.
The owner operator are John & Amy Holmgren. They live in Shafer Minn.
They thought this would be a nice tribute to the people that lost their
lives.
It has every name of each person that lost their life on 9-11
This concept was thought up by John and Amy, and totally paid for by them. John says he will be awhile paying the loan off that, he had to take out to do it but, thought this was the least he could do.
Applied Graphics in Fargo ND done most of the work and Paul Kosenski did the Hand painting. He said that he got to meet the Country Singer Darryl Worley, who Sang the song "Have You Forgotten" and has gotten pulled over 3 times by the
police just to get their picture taken by this truck.
He plans on attending the Mid America Truck show in Louisville KY in March

this and many pictures were sent to me by a person in my horse chatters group . this couple are members of this group .

I think it is a great tribute to the fallen people of 9/11 .

Chris.

Thanks for the background info on the people who did this.

Great Tribute, I figured the nice folks on this site would appreciate it as well. The artwork is just as amazing as the intent.

Way too many poeple in this Country have extremely short memories!!! Hopefully this will give them all the kick in the A$$ that is very much needed. I am one of those who believes that the footage of those planes, and the damage they did should be shown often.... to everyone!!!!
Thanks for posting the pics and info.
