Went to the annual Vietnam Veterans reunion in Kokomo Indiana again this year. This was my 23rd time.
Drove my Deuce the 90 miles.
There were 2 Vietnam gun trucks, Wild Thing, & Psychotic Reaction.
We would occasionally parade through the park, giving rides & getting our pictures taken. Great fun. The vets loved the trucks. I bet there were 200 pictures taken with my Deuce, as every Vietnam Vet could identify with it.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Just chatted today with some guys from Point Man Ministries that took pictures of WILD THING while they were at Kokomo. They were up in Cheboygan, MI (almost to the Mackinaw Bridge) at a display of the MOVING WALL VietNam memorial wall display. We drove our trucks up to pay respects and they wanted us to stay all day. Unfortunately, we all had other plans.

It's reunion time again! This coming weekend. Eight miles east of Kokomo Indiana on Hwy 26. See HCVVo_Org for details.

We'll be there with our M35 gasser, M35A2 with "riot" box, M422A1 Mighty Mite, & M 103 trailer.
Hopefully, Wild Thing will show again.
It's a really great time for ALL veterans & their families. Food, bands, & adult beverages.
If you can make it, just look for the Big Green Trucks & the little Mighty Mite.
