Happy Veteran’s Day – Military in Motorsports
The military has long been involved in Motorsport, and while the department of defense has focused primarily on NASCAR and it’s multitude of impressionable and willing, there have been a few instances of sponsorship falling in open-wheel and drag racing venues.
So, on this Veteran’s Day, think about how awesome the military can be, when they support our favorite racing series. So, Semper Fidelis, Hooah, be all you can be, and all that jazz.

Don't forget General Curtis LeMay opening all those SAC bases to sports car racing in the 1940s and 50s too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_LeMay#LeMay_a…
I especially want to give laud to the Motorcraft branch.
Seriously though, JR Hildebrand's Camo combo is pretty sweet looking.

Damn, the Air Force car is just sad compared to the others… Not the primary sponsor, it is red, and they had the guy wear a plain Blues uniform (we have much better to choose from, really.)
He's not even looking at the camera.
Wow. I was trying to figure out what "Motorcraft" had to do with the armed forces.
Never even saw the USAF logo below it
