I bought this 2021 Mustang GT In 2023 when I was a police officer as a fun way to enjoy the weekends. On my off days, I put my own love and care in it from the GT-500 Body, Cervini Stalker Hood, APR Race Wing, Light engine modifications, custom hand- painted engine bay, and other various lighting and add-ons all in my garage. I kept going to car shows and meets, and felt the lack of support for veterans, so I created Project Old Glory.
I came up with an idea to have a wrap that represented the traumas service members face in war, the battles we keep fighting everyday, and the toll mental illness/PTSD from combat exposure takes on the body and mind, all while still representing the inspiration for the Ford Mustang from the P-51D Mustang fighter plane.
I chose the name "Old Glory", as it represents our nations flag, and those who have bravely fought and died to defend it.
The following sponsors lovingly made Project Old Glory go from a dream to a reality: MC Wraps, Premium Wheels, Extreme Auto Lighting, Seen and Heard Emergency Lighting ,Northway Performance,Thermal R&D Exhausts, Ultimate Headers, Mags Upholstery, and Exhaust Addicts. All these businesses poured out love and support for this project and without them, P.O.G. would have never been possible.
Now Project Old Glory travels the nation raising awareness for PTSD and Suicide Prevention for 11 national charities supporting this cause: Vetbuds, Warrior Refuge, Stop Soldier Suicide, Purple Heart Foundation, The Taylor Foundation, Paws for Life K9 Rescue, K9's for Warriors, Cherokee Homeless Veterans Program, Mission 22, Wounded Warrior Project, and Tunnels 2 Towers.
Old Glory has been at many major events across the nation, and will continue raising awareness, helping veterans, and remain a rolling beacon of hope.
