As you can tell from the previous post the HMV club I belong to was invited to the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston Mass to help the DOD celebrate a memorial to the Veterans of World War 2 and the 60th anniversary of the End of the War.

Part of the celebration was the visit to Boston Harbor of the LST 325

Other parts of the celebration included speaches by local officials, current high ranking members of the armed forces and veterans of WW2. Entertainment was provided by the Army Band as these lovely young ladies (USO) singing WW2 era music.

Above are three members of our club including this lists...Dr. Deuce. The girls were invited over to our group of 11 WW2 vehicles to take pictures. They spent almost 30 minutes with us allowing everyone to take pictures of them including the large crowd of spectators that had gathered.

The whole event was wonderful and I was proud to be part of it.

Finally a picture of Dr. Deuce and his lovely wife Jeannie in front of his CCKW.

Quick question:

The door handle is missing on the drivers door.

Oh yea! But that was not it.

When I go to displays and I don't want people messing with the truck, I remove the door handles and throw one inside the cargo bed by the tailgate. I can lock mine, but people get pulling with all their might on the handles and I am afraid they will bend something inside and lock me out!

Good observation though

No that is not it, but the pas side is not there due to the hole in the roof.

OK Ok, if I don't tell you youse guys will keep finding thing wrong!

The USA is on the wrong end of the hood number. After I painted the hood number on, I noticed it... DOH!

Well it is obvious that you can get away with it as none of use noticed it and we are supposed to be the experts, soooo the general public will never notice I fear.

Great photo, but she is too good looking to be with you.
