OK guys, I just got back on after being gone for a few days. Some great pics and great info on this thread. I have a couple of things to add. 1) I believe it was on page 6 there are two photos of V-100 Flash. That is me driving in the first pic. Flash was my V and my other two crew members...

As for the V-100's of the 66th MP Co, we had the full support of the CO and BN commander. We were featured in The MP newspaper in Nam several times. It cost 2 cases of C Rations for an old Papa San in the village to paint the front. He did a great job. We used the Marvel Comic Super Heroes for...
