DOUG SCHRODER PHOTO Tempo – German Valley Days – Roger Wilson, of Freeport, brought his All Veterans Signature Truck to the German Valley Days car show on Saturday, June 11. The truck has 4,893 veteran’s signatures on it, as Roger has taken the truck to many car shows, parades and other events in the Stateline area, since he took possession of the truck from the Freeport Vietnow Chapter in 2004. He can be reached at 815-541-6080 if you would like to schedule him to come to your event. If you can’t get him at that number, try calling his wife, Tammy, at 815-233-1627. The truck is just about full of signatures and Roger hopes to retire this truck and acquire another one to keep the project going.
