Dana, That is a great story ! I love listening to any Veteran stories. Wait until you get that M37 out and the Vets start congregating around your M37 and talking stories. It is so great. Whenever I have my WWII WC4 out at an event, sometime I can't even leave the truck, there is so much mlitary stories being spoken... Monday is going to be great. 4th of July parade in Lynn Haven, Florida. I'll have the WC4 in the parade, and a good friend who was an MP and drove an M151 MP MUTT in Vietnam will be driving his MUTT in the in the parade and it is really decked out like the one he had over there with an M60 on a mount behind the front seats and all of the junk hanging off of it. We are in an area with two lose by Air Force bases, Tyndall and Eglin, plus Hurlburt field, home of the Air Force special ops guys. On top of that there is a Navy lab and the Navy Dive School, so there a re a lot of Veterans. I can not believe how many Vietnam era Vets come up to my friend Steve with the MUTT and now talk talk talk about their days over there.
