But, I'm married, so I'm told I'm wrong...
My WC63
My Dad, who was my best friend, was in WW2. He was in the Dixie Division. And one of the strongest memories I have as a kid, besides Church with him and Mom, is setting around on Saturdays watching all the old WW2 movies, and programs, Combat, 12 O’clock High, The Rat Patrol, Silent...

OK time to campaign....
It was a cold and snow was falling, when we loaded up and headed to the Boy Scout 2015 Boot Comporee. BUT it was well worth it.
We carried a 37mm, 57mm and 3” anti-tank guns, a 45 Willis Jeep, and a Dodge 43 WC63 down. There was apx 200 Boy Scouts there. After we got...
