condolence message

I am very sorry to say that SSG Travis k. Hunsberger was KIA on June 27 2008 while on patrol in Lamay, Afghanistan. SSg Hunsberger was a Special Forces Operational Detachment-Alpha senior communications sergeant. He was awarded the Bronze Star medal,Army Commendation medal with V device. Army Good Conduct medal, National Defense Service medal. Afghanistan Campaign medal,Noncommissoned Officer Professional ribbon. Army Service ribbon, NATO medal, Combat Infantryman badge, Parachutist badge and the Special Forces tab.
SSG Travis K. Hunsberger is the cousin of one of Mz Nasty's volunteers, Dawn Layne and her daughter Tia. Dawn and Tia help me in public relations and attends events for our soldiers. They both donate alot of behind the scene time that most don't even notice. Dawn can be found collecting food tickets for benefits or handing out cards for the poker runs. We will be adding SSG Hunsberger to Mz Nasy,s site as soon as we receive more info. God Bless. Our prayers are with his whole family. Lynn Todd

Thanks to all of Mz. Nasty's volunteers

First I would like to thank God, and all our men and women in the military, past,present and future for their services to keep our great country free. Also thank you to their families who sacrifice more than I could ever imagine.
Next I would like to thank Jan and Amy, the brains and the webmaster. I really cannot come up with the words to express my thanks to you two. Amy, you just amaze me nonstop. You are just so full of pure natural talent. I know you will get aces in college. I want all to know this site is up and running because of Amy. Last week I had the honor of taking Amy on her first motorcycle ride!!!!! Yes she rode on Mz Nasty. Jan is my one of my favorite friends. She is also the brains behind scenes. Jan says we should also write a book. I think shes right!
And thank you to Jill. She is basically Mz Nasty,s bodyguard. She drives the chase vehicle that follows behind Mz Nasty, and has been known to run interceptions through a couple lanes of traffic to keep us safe from crazy drivers. Jill goes to 98% of all the events that Nasty goes to.She takes pictures, takes notes, gets sun burnt as hell in the June thru Sept events in South Fla. Shes got some stories too.
Thank a soldier every day, its not hard to find one take the time they are everywhere.

PLEASE send us your pictures of yourself, friends family and your military stories.
Lynn

Best Wishes

Please give some of your thoughts to the handler of MZ Nasty, Lynn Todd. Now, besides the daily hyperbarics, she is likely to undergo physical therapy. This is because, on her way to hyperbarics, she was involved in a car accident. She suffered a slight concussion, but should recover fine.

The Birth Of MZ Nasty

MZ Nasty was originally built in memory of Chief Master Sgt. Samuel Adams. He was captured in Vietnam on October 31, 1965. I got his P.O.W. bracelet in 1971 from the Stars and Stripes Magazine to help support the USO tours in Vietnam. I was twelve years old. I have carried him with me for the last 36 years. Two years ago I decided I would tell his story through my '78 Sportster, after all, most people will stop and look at something that is out of the ordinary. I sat down with Rodger Jones, owner of Rodger's Cycles in Port Charlotte, FL. I told him what I wanted to do and he ordered all the parts I needed to turn her into what she is today. Jack Reto, a two tour Vietnam Veteran, hand painted her. He said that the camouflage brought back a lot of memories; some good, some bad. When I brought the bike out for the first time, my friend Slats of the Vietnam M. C. gave me his 1st Calvary patch, which was an awesome honor for me. The Vets started calling her MZ Nasty [Military Zone Nasty]. I have since received patches, pins, and ribbons from all branches of the military. October 31st, 2005 was Samuel Adams 40th Anniversary as a P.O.W./MIA. I have since learned he was killed November 1st, 1965. His remains have never been returned.

Please say a prayer for all out Veterans; past, present, and future. If not for them, you might not be here, reading about my soldier, Samuel Adams, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless and thank you for serving the U. S. of A.!!!
