Ahoy Young Brother, Thanks for keeping us safe back here from another old Nam Vet. I also run covoys as the last truck. Back in our day it was a wrecker to pick up any breakdowns or shot up vehicles. I like your ride a lot better than the one they gave me. NICE ARMOR! Be safe young Brother and all of you come home alive. Here is a picture of us in "67".

I just want to say thank you all for the comments it really means a lot to me and mostly to my guys here. Its nice to get support from other people back in the world other then family. This point in the war there isn't as much support over here as there was in the beginning. lots of guys feel kind of forgoton. To all the vets and to all that have served the armed forces let me say thank you. To the Wisconsinites, i just want to say there is nothing like Wisconsin. I LOVE THAT STATE. I am from Edgerton just south of Madison my wife is from Black River Falls, that place is beautiful and is where i want to hang my hat. I have included more pics one is of going throw a bad bad part of bagdad and we were not welcome there, you should of seen the people looking or should i say glaring at us. The other pic is of an up armor RV. This is what you need open day of deer hunting when all the state of Ill is in Wisconsin hunting. And the other is my girl Madison. and yes named her after Madison Wisconsin. I got here when i got to fort hood and she is now in Wisconsin in black river falls loving the snow.
