JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Whoever said, "less is more," hasn't met Robert Harris.

"In the back are two M16s A1s, the rifles used in Vietnam," says Harris, pointing to his Harley.

Everywhere he goes, he sparks a bit of attention.

"There are hand grenades for my foot peddles for my passenger," says Harris.

And that's exactly his intention. This Vietnam veteran paratrooper now dedicates his life to raising funds, and awareness for homeless and disabled vets.

The mission is called Operation Dust Off. It's named after a rescue mission in Vietnam that actually saved his life. Now, he wants to rescue others.

"Not one vet should be on the street," said Harris. "We never left a soldier behind on the battlefields in Vietnam, and I don't see any reason to leave one on the streets."



With the help of fellow vets, Harris transformed his 1985 Harley into a tribute to veterans of all wars. After winning several awards for his bike, he decided to use the attention for their benefit.
