My sympathy to Clint as well. Here's my story.
I bought my WC-57 Command Car in honor of my dad. He's a 15th AAF WWII vet and although he didn't see combat he volunteered for overseas duty, even though his captain was trying to bribe him into staying in the states by offering him a promotion to Master Sgt. My plan (once the resoration is finished)is to have his name, rank, serial # , and service branch painted on the side. The truck will be put into a trust and my kids can keep it for as long as they want. The trust will state that it can never be sold and when/if my kids need to do something with it, they can donate it to a museum with the stipulation that my dad's name and data must always remain on the Command Car. He's a real special guy, and this way his memory (and those of others like him) will live forever.
