Dear Dave Mc Connell:
Your truck still looks "Magnificent" in that yellow nose paint, but I see that the yellow headlights ZiggyO must have sent you by now are loitering in their boxes..... My Tan 686A M35A2 "Saddam's Nightmare" got it's first 'Official" public display here in Paris, Tx on the 17th of May in our "To Defend and Protect" program..... We had everything from 2 WWII Jeeps and 1 Dodge Command Car, 1 M38 Korean War Jeep, 1 M725 Ambulance, 1 Canadian Army Land Rover and 1 Canadian Ferret, and my poor old deuce had to stand in for the Red River Valley Chapter MVPA's deuce's cause they were all laid up....We had the Sam Rayburn VA Hospital in Bonham, TX bring over a busload of vets from WWII to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and it's always amazing o see how the veterans react to "their" vehicles. Keep up the good work with your machine...
Regards,
Kyle F. McGrogan
