Me and my father-in-law will be heading down. I'm sure you can draft us into whatever you need.

We DO need at least 6 gunners on the Guntrucks patracy. Maybe you and your father-in-law could ride in the gunbox with me on Proud American??

Final bump!!! Tomorrow's the big day!

Remember folks, 07:30 at 318 10th Avenue Columbus, Georgia.

It's supposed to be a tad "nippy" in the morning so ya may wanna dress accordingly as most of you will be in open vehicles.

See yaz in the morning!!

 

[papabear]

God Bless America and all who have served!

I hope you found the keys to the F350. I had a blast. Made it home at 1945, and I do not want to see the inside of the Honda for a week...........

Hi guys,

I am sorry I could not be there.

I had to work several hours today... Did not get home until the afternoon.

God bless all of you...

 

[Tinwoodsman]

To all those participating. Happy Veteran's Day to everyone.

Ummm...gimme a hint...where are the keys...we leave em in the ignition at the compound??
Tony took me home in the Caddy...cause I accidently consumed some...well lots of Zout's special "elixor".

 

[EMD567]

Yes, I left them in the ignition, and the windows rolled down. I thought about it after I was half way home, and i figured whoever unloaded the M114 would figure it out.......

Trying to get these on the internet but my internet service completely sucks out here on the farm.
If you aren't a "facebooker" then go to www.johnknop.com and they will be uploaded sometime this century.

6. Good on ya'll for your support of the community.

I drove "The Ugly Ranger" and Daniel took good care of ClintoGf's wrecker. Awesome event and I'll be back next year.

 

[papabear]

I gotta tell you, without help from the SS folks, CAMO could have only moved 5 MV's but 17 rolled!!!

The US Army had 3 vehicles and HLS had two way ahead of our stuff.

Sorta makes ya wonder who has priorities for what...don't it??

Good to see ferro was able to post the video I took. I am an old fart, and had a hard time posting, so sent the link to him. I really enjoyed being there, and look forward to seeing all again, and hopefully being at next year's parade. I join the others in admiring Papa Bear and his efforts, as well as his team.

Thank you for taking that excellent vid herc69 and thank you for coming down with ferro.

One slight correction though...it's OUR effort and OUR Team...and you are certainly included!!
