RE: Ace of Spades 5 ton gun truck

I saw that picture and a chill ran up my spine. When I was in high school, I worked for a Viet Nam vet that told me stories about his gun truck called "Cold Sweat". He told me he liked to run with a buddy in a truck named "Ace of Spades". This was out of Qui Nhon and up to the central highlands in 68-69. Both trucks had huge bounties put on them by the NVA, but always seemed to come home.

"Ace of Spades" was a popular name for any armored vehicle in Viet Nam, and there may have been more than one gun truck with that handle since that insignia is bad gris-gris (superstition). Great picture, by the by.
