Joesph LaRosch is 25, and he has started a traveling tribute to WWII vets. He found a old jeep with some history. The 1944 Jeep saw service in Normandy, Belgium, Austria, and Germany. After the war it was sold to the Belgium Army, then bought by a California Man, who sold it to a man in Quakertown, PA. That's where Mr. Laroche found it. He has restored it to running condition. He talks the Jeep to events for Vets, i.e. nursing homes and has the Vets sign the Jeep. What a great thing to do. You can contact him at: 2221 Glasgow Ave, Newark, DE 19702.

Delaware is # 2
According to an article by David Singleton in The News Journal, Delaware is # 2 in spending per capita, only Alaska is ahead of us. Check out the list below.
Delaware Ranking
Welfare #2
Public Schools #9
Higher Ed. #2
Highways #3
Environment #3
Police #1
Corrections #1
Parks & Rec. #9
These are real eye openers. I believe we need to rethink our spending--since we are out of money anyway.
