Thanks to my dad (WWII), my grand dad (WWI), and everyone else whose years of service to this country have helped make it....and kept it..... the greatest place on earth. Thanks. _________________ Jim

A salute to all Veterans and current servicemen. I'm driving my recently restored M38A1 in today's Veterans Day Parade in Birmingham, Alabama. The parade here is billed as the largest in the U.S. Our club, the Dixie Division MV Club is the 701st element in the parade out of a total of about 1200 elements. It's going to be a long day.

Hopefully Chuck will come. I saw him Saturday at our annual get together at Tannehill State Park. He's mostly restoring M274 "Mules" right now. Chucks a great guy.
Thank you for remembering. Its was an honor to serve. I have been participating all day in ceremonies. And from me to all you veteran brothers and sisters, Thank You for your service.

Parade is over now. 2 1/2 Hours of idling and riding the clutch! The M38A1 did great. If anyone has an opportunity to participate in a parade of any type, I strongly suggest it. It will restore your faith in the American public to see the patriotism and respect shown to the troops as well as us humble restorers. America is still alive and well!
