I have not received raw video footage from anybody. I had some folks promise to send me some....if I get it the Prof. said we can do the video next week........I can do it using still pics but some footage from the covoy would be great.
The only footage I have is of the Florida convoy up. If you want it what is the best way to send it to you? E-mail says file is to large to send.

Yes. We'll use a different color next year just in case we have someone that doesn't remove it LOL.

The Navy folks can now remove their stickers!! LOL. (You had to be there to understand).

I get harassed at work by the former Air Force guys about having my name stenciled on my backside (pants) while in the Navy. I hope it wasn't similar.

What a horrible tragedy. Almost happened to me one time on my John Deere 450 track loader. I was spared by the ROPS.

May he rest in peace. Heart goes out to family and friends.

Was it the young guy that is also in the National Guard unit that brought the truck and Humvee out?

Very sad news...especially this time of the year.

Maybe our chaplain can send a card on behalf of Steel Soldiers.
The Email said he was 64. he drove the grader and bobcat.

Fantastic on the count CARNAC, I'd like to change the numbers slightly to reflect that my truck is not an M1008, it's a M1028!!! Fantastic turnout of trucks and we'll be there next year!!! Thanks for the green sticker!!!
