Just found this forum and it's great. I was the gunner on a V-100 in Vietnam stationed in Phu Bi 71-72. That's me in my avitar at the Bob Hope show at Camp Eagle. If I can help anyone with info let me know- what's left of my memory might have some useful information. I have a few print pictures of our old Vs and will see if I can get them scanned if anybody would be interested.
Great Site!

Welcome aboard and after that picture info, we all love to see the pictures. The people on
the site are military and non-military, but all love the vehicles and the stories to be told by
the soldiers that were involved with them. I'm not former military.
Thank you for your service,

"Interested" doesn't even begin to describe how much I/we would like to see your pictures, trust me.
I am currently restoring one of your old warhorses- New V-100
Several other guys on here are doing so, or have done so.
So please post your pics, and share as many memories as you are willing to type, you definitely have an audience. Personal history on these vehicles and you folks who operated them is a rare and valuable commodity.
Duece Driver-
I do remember those yellow nose gun trucks. In fact, there was a guy from one of those trucks (can't remember his name) that used to somehow get us great steaks for our bbq's. We were always jealous of those trucks because they had two 50's on them and we could only have one. We welded the 50 on our turrets and when we would fire them it would bend the armor.
You were once my neighbor- we move to California from Keene, New Hampshire.

I'll try posting a picture and see if it works. If it does, it will be a picture of my buddy Todd Gordon from Minn. parked in front of the Citadel in Hue.
