If you want to support a vet run non-profit that does amazing work, check out @HeroLabradors Chuck IS Hero Labs and he doesn't make a dime off what he does. Give them a look.
@JGxTweets@extrakimkim@Verityy1x Maybe because you put all the blame on the father and didn't assign any culpability to the one who threw the drink? You know what you did. We are tired if it. The fatigue is real.
๐จWOW!!!!
A Vietnam vet gave up his dream car, a '69 Mustang Mach 1, to raise his 6 sons.
He never let them see what it cost him.
50 years later, his youngest traded away his OWN Mustang to track down the exact car... and handed his dad the keys on Father's Day.
His name is Daniel Allen and he came home from the Vietnam war and bought his dream car.
It was a white 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
Black hood, red stripes, four-speed.
And then he gave it up.
Because one baby became two. Then three. Then six sons. And a two-door muscle car can't raise a family.
So Daniel traded away his dream, the way good fathers do.
He never made his boys feel the cost of it.
But his youngest son, Shane, was always listening.
Every time his dad told the story of "the one that got away," it stuck. The two of them even made a tradition of it, going to Father's Day car shows together, hunting for Mustangs, reminiscing.
So this year, Shane found it.
A white '69 Mach 1, exactly like the one his father described for decades.
He traded away his OWN restored Mustang GT to get it, then had it repainted and reupholstered to match his dad's memory down to the detail.
And to get it, he traded away his OWN restored Mustang.
On Father's Day, at their car show, Daniel walked past a Mach 1 and noticed a name tag hanging from the mirror that read "Daniel."
He figured it was a coincidence. Half-joking, he said, "Where are my keys?"
His son reached out and put the keys in his hand and told him to fire it up.
This grown man. This veteran. He climbed out of that car, asked his son how on earth he'd pulled it off, and when Shane told him he'd traded his own custom Mustang to do it...
...Daniel broke down and wrapped his boy in his arms.
Fifty years later, the dream he laid down for his kids... his kid handed right back to him.
God bless the Allen family. That's what it's all about.
Dogs have mastered the art of teasing their humans! ๐๐ถ They know exactly how to push our buttons and get away with it! ๐คฃ
Whoโs really training whom here? ๐
