Ray Skillman a HERO!

This is a great thing Mr. Skillman is doing, and he should be reccognized. I do however feel the word "hero" should only be used in the life or death arena. i.e. someone risking their life to save another. I'm sure a man of Mr. Skillman's stature would agree with me. Maybe he has a little discount program within his business to help out heroes looking for a new car/truck. Either way, great job Mr. Skillman and thanks for the racing support as well.

Now if the school system can just identify where the money they SHOULD have had to fund these programs is going and correct it all will be even BETTER. It shouldnt be up to an outside fund(congrats to Skillman) to make up for poor money management by the school system. It like the City closing 3 or 4 year old NEW schools because there were no children in the area to fill the schools. Planning?

It is a pleasure to know the Skillmans. They are a class act.

Agreed! Ray is a Patriot! He is doing things to make his county, state and country better. That is a Patriot! Kudos to you Mr. Skillman! Jim

I could tell you stories all day of Ray's generosity. I live close to the Ford dealership and deliver to his Indy area stores. His employees respect him because he has done about every job at a car dealership. He has worked the wash bay and everything in between. You can stop by the muscle car shop any day and he has an old t shirt on getting dirty. I knew that when he started running stock it might take awhile to gain everyones acceptance but Ray,Bill and Drew are good people. Man! I wish my company could get his oil business! Valvoline would look good on those cars.

union states.Mr Skillman seems to be a great American and businessman.
