CRIMEFIGHTER CORVETTE IN THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL PARADE The U.S. 56th Presidential Inaugural Committee announced today that out of the some record 1300 plus Inaugural Parade entries the “CrimeFighter Corvette” and Capt. Joe Jakub were selected to participate in the upcoming Presidential Inaugural Parade on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 in Washington, D.C. They advised that the honor of being selected for the third consecutive time in a row (2001, 2005, 2009) for a Presidential Inaugural is extremely rare and was also informed that we were the only unit selected to represent the state of Kentucky. Part of the reason for the selection was our organization’s message is crystal clear, and that is we are striving for a Drug Free America. Our “Reach for your Dreams” anti-drug and anti-violence program is moving us in that direction. Our RFYD flagship vehicle, the “CrimeFighter Corvette” proudly wears the symbol of our great nation, the American Flag, on its sides and speaks directly to the drug culture issue. We are truly honored and proud to receive this honor on behalf of the State of Kentucky and all anti-drug programs in our Country.

CAPTAIN JOE MEETS JOE WALSH AND MARY PETERS May 14th, 2007 - It has been an honor and privilege for Captain Jakub to lead the Annual Memorial Law Ride for the past three years. The ride was developed to honor the fallen law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. Mr. Walsh, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Peters and Captain Joe were on the Dias together at the National Law Enforcement Memorial along with other Washington DC dignitaries. They all had an opportunity to share some comments about the 145 officers that have died in the line of duty last year to a crowd of over 2,000 officers and their families.
WELCOME HOME SCREAMING EAGLES On April 17, 2004 the CrimeFighter Corvette lead the returning 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles through downtown Clarksville, Tennessee in the River & Spires Festival Parade. Capt. Joe and The CrimeFighter Corvette went to Clarksville, Tennessee to welcome home soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division better known as the "Screaming Eagles" who recently returned from Iraqi. The "CrimeFighterCorvette" proudly led the 4,000 troops through the streets of downtown Clarksville. After the parade Capt. Joe had the opportunity to meet several of the Screaming Eagles and their families, one of which we are featuring in our tribute to the 101st. Corporal Matt Brown and his two year son Chandler are pictured here. Corporal Brown is only one of the many troops that were reunited with their families. He is glad to be back on American soil again with his family.
