My husband, SGT. Cooke, got this hummer stuck in the mud, and I think it is the best picture of him that I have seen so far. This was taken earlier last year when we just got stationed in Indian Head, MD at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. Thought you could do something with this picture!

I Decided that if the Corps wanted a 56 year old vet again, that I was not going to hump. As you can see I am going to finish rebuilding my M50A1 Ontos. Thought you may get a kick out of seeing one again.

The American Dream . . . A Rolling Tribute
The American Dream . . . A Rolling Tribute
Hi Sgt Grit. thanks for the extra stickers the guys at the VA Hospital send their thanks also.
I too am doing my part in a small way to remember those who came home and those who didn’t. I am also sending a message of patriotism to those who have forgot. I am doing this through the murals on my Custom 97 Ford Truck Called “American Dream”. My truck is being made into a Rolling Tribute to all my brother veterans. It is also a tribute to our Great Flag. On the hood of the truck is a Bald eagle crashing through the hood and the Flag and in between his wings is 2 soldiers one of which is helping the other up into heaven.

Hi Sgt Grit,
How are you?. Have been off line recently due to starboard kidney failure, but I had a “Jumpstart” and here I am again. Thought I’d send you Photo’s of My camper van, proudly showing off the USMC emblems. I am as proud as punch with these items.
