Turned my M38A1 over to the 1st Sgt. for this event and due to a health problem with his wife, he was unable to attend. Another of our group that displays women's military items, said that she was the only historical display there. They thought about 1400 vets turned out for the event. They...
My M886 came from behind a guys barn in 1999. He had bought it from the government auction a couple of years before. just put power steering on it and it is certainly more fun to drive now.
Hello Team and especially Vietnam Veterans. This event is going to be put on as a Welcome Home for Vietnam Vets. It is their intent that Vietnam Veterans get the same welcome home that current returning vets are given on post.
If your are a Vietnam Vet in the Joint Base Lewis Mchord area plan...
They will be holding a Massing of the Colors Ceremony on 9 October, with an emphasis on Vietnam and Vietnam Veterans.
If you would like to attend and put your Vietnam Vehicle on display, let me know and I will get your information to the Major that is in charge of that part of the event...
Hello Team, Saturday at the Olympic Flight museum, they will be having their Fall Military Show and sale. You might be able to pick up a few goodies for your historic presentation with your vehicle. If you want to part with some of your extra stuff, give them a call and get a table. I most...
Took the 923 in for a front end alignment. Was getting some wear on the front tires. He said it was about 1/2 inch out. Maybe wishful thinking but it seemed to not wander now and I was not having to herd it home. Also last weekend we went to a parade, 190 miles round trip for me. Got 8 MPG...
Scott my situation has turned to doubt for Sunday. 5 ton went to the shop for a look at alignment issues. And worse yet, when my calendar shows that I have an opening, that usually means that I have forgotten to write something in. Have a 1230 meeting in Chehalis for a building project.

Military Family Appreciation Day 2014 Lacey WA
Mission Accomplished. Light turnout for us and for the military families this year. We ended up with the WW2 jeep, 43 CCKW, and troop hauling Stryker and the Cannon version of the Stryker. It was good to get to talk with the troops and see what...
Last week of Sept. is best for me. Sunday for lunch? If we don't get many from up north chiming in, how about the hamburger place at the bottom of Nisqually hill?
Sept. 20 we have a parade in Quillcene if anyone would like to tag along. Oct. 4 is the Olympic Flight Museum Fall military show. Oct. 11, is the Puyallup Gunshow, where they host military vehicles to be on display outside the event. After that things sort of open up until Nov. 8 for the...
Coug, Sorry I didn't get this on your radar sooner, but you do have to take care of the kid stuff first. The green iron will still be there.
We ended up with 5 vehicles and six crunchies for the parade. 3 WW2 jeeps, a 1 1/2 ton Chev, and a 2 1/2 tone CCKW. One of the wives drove my jeep (we...
I know it is short notice, wasn't sure if I could go, but Saturday morning, there is a parade in Aberdeen or Hoquim about 1100. We are going down doing the WW2 thing with vehicles and people in uniform, but I am sure that you could tag along at the end of the line, if you wanted to bring an M...
Will keep you posted on this storm. I have heard a bit of interest in doing Desert Storm, so was thinking of bringing the M923, but if I have a rider, may be bringing the 42 GPW. We will figure it out. P
Hello team, If you are looking for a spot to go through this parade, would be happy to have you along.
More to come on particulars, but we should probably be in place by 0900. They usually put us on one of the narrow side streets and if we have large trucks, that creates its own issues.
If...
