M916 Wounded Recovery
So where does my truck get it's Purple Heart medal!
It WAS on a mission!
I can not tell you guys how much I am so appreciative of the support
Will Wagner and Daniel gave me. Daniel and Rigo were
instrumental in this recovery. I was / am soooo appreciative, I did not
hesitate to write a very generous check to Daniel for his service and
Will's is coming.
Daniel, how did you here about me broke down? Who called you?
I was skeptical about a 5 ton doing this recovery but let me tell you,
Daniels 5Ton, "Brutus" is a VERY capable machine! Five tons ROCK!
Here are a few pics, Daniel in the drivers seat, Rigo at a safety check
stop and Daniel just minutes before departure after all was hooked up.
I had both drive shafts pulled upon their arrival, I have an 83000 pound
tow bar I carry on the nose of Rebel (my M916) that SAVED MY BUTT BTW,
and I had told Daniel I only had one air hose so he stopped and picked
up a pair of Red & Blue coiled hoses so we had brakes on 6 axles all
the way home that included going down CAJON PASS! Daniel is a VERY
CAPABLE gentleman guys.
But lets take one minute to recognize RIGO, the 19 year old you see
w/ the watch cap posed for the camera. RIGO is seriously considering
joining the Marines. Let me tell you that this young man is absolutely
capable of going FAR in that treasured organization, and I hope he pulls
the trigger and joins, and soon. I honestly believe he will. He is a real
trooper. Not one complaint when work had to be done, he goT to the
gettin' and did the tasks well. 3 Cheers for RIGO!
