    As a Veteran (4 years U.S.A.F; 1985-1989) and retired police officer of 13 years for Newport Beach (1990-2003), I would love to connect with other First Responder HERO Taco Owners and set up a meetup. Check out some rigs and meet some great people!

    If there is enough of an interest for a meetup specific to TW HEROES, I'd love to run with it and create a TW HERO monthly meetup.

    Let me know what you think and lets make this happen.

    No need to thank me, we are in it together. Great idea. Hope this gains traction.

    You are correct about that

    I hope it does as well. Really not trying to eliminate any of the amazing people who are part of TW and not a First Responder (active/retired). I just think it would be a great group to get together because we have a lot in common, including our Tacos!

    If this can gain traction and turn into a great core group, I'll get a logo made (TW HERO) and get some decals and/or shirts made up. It can really be a cool thing and we all know military, cops and fireman all love trucks! lol

    Thank you for your service and be safe while deployed.

    We'll be here when you get back safely and join our group my new friend. I appreciate you brother!

    And also, damn you guys drive some bad ass vehicles..Be safe and lets connect when you get home. In the meantime, tag any of your other first responder friends who are local and lets get the momentum going with this group.

    Outstanding and thank you for your service.

    Lets keep getting the word out and the more interest we get, I'll put something together in the coming weeks.

    Thank you for the support. I'll be home next month. Looking forward to meeting eveyone. I'll make sure to post once I'm stateside.

    One of the perks of working with the SpecOPs guys out here. I will make sure to tag other first responders to get this awesome group going.

    I am usually the one that ends up in the shiny bracelets.:anonymous:
    @JandAOffRoad I am not a member of the armed forces or a veteran of one, nor am I a police or the like... just a citizen that respects the job, but usually the suspect.
    Last week I was in cuffs and in the back of a squad car.:( but kind of my fault for walking past 2 sqaud cars on to a potential crime scene to go to the backyard.:rofl:

    Sounds great and I remember those days..I was a K9 handler for 5 years, so lots of call outs and much longer shifts than the normal 10-12 hour days.

    Looking forward to seeing the group grow over the next few weeks and then set something up.

    Be safe my brother!
