He has a name!

I go to pick up my 2007 MCS on Saturday, and while I was driving to work tryin' to figure out a name for me, it came to me. "J.E." Which is short for Josh Enos. The name is in honor of 2 friends I lost while in Iraq, SGT Joshua Henry and SGT Peter Enos. The two of them were the embodiment of what a Mini is... Strong when needed, but full of life and spirit. I could think of no better tribute to my dear friends.

Hopefully one day soon I will figure out a way to honor all the soldiers who serve in harm's way.

Elijah

Thanks, I am now out of the army, but it still feels good to know people still support our soldiers.

A very fitting name indeed!

Please post pictures of J.E. when you bring him home so we can all give him a salute.

I believe your fallen friends would be honored that you named your MINI after them...
