In addition to these projects, Eagle Scout candidates can figure out additional projects what will help us honor our fallen warriors. Some of these could include:  Restoring  a vehicle  such as, 1944 Half Track, 1941 Scout Car, 1943 International M-2-4,  a 1944 WC9 Ambulance, and Make a Vietnam War Gun Truck. These projects will take a great deal of work and resources.  Projects can also include collecting metal or other items to raise money to buy materials, sanding and working on the trucks, organizing events or activities like the Freedom Vehicles Military outpost, and more.  If you need an Eagle Project please contact Wade Stout who is the representative for Freedom Vehicles Eagle Scout Projects.  801-224-5349
