Supporting Homes for our Troops

[70deuce]

The Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado provided some vehicles for display supporting another Denver area Homes for our Troops fundraiser. This M220 was a Yuma proving ground support vehicle in its day. Has the desert white paint for that reason. You don't see many M817s with complete troop racks and bed cover. Looks pretty cool. The M818 went tandem to get the flag trailer to the event.

A few more. M818 easliy tackled the bank. Hopefully the M220 video doing the same comes through.

It was a fun event and a great cause. I really enjoy the MVCC and the events you guys/we put on. It really is more the royal we when I say we.

I was happy this one was in our back yard and just a hop skip and a jump away.......I guess really more of a start, warm up and shut er down type of deal.

OK. To play the movie I had to select the production 1 that is highlighted in yellow at the top of the page. Once I did that the movie played automatically once it downloaded.

And......Pop......You need to include the name of your trucks in your signature. What was painted all over the 220 when we got it out of surplus? Inquiering minds want to know.

If I tell everyone the Army had "Warwagon" painted on the sides and doors, they probably wouldn't belive me. I think it was in blue drab which is supposed to not photograph very well. I think we should repaint that back on the truck and just let people think what they will.

 

[jollyroger]

Oh I agree. WARWAGON is going back on the truck. Problem is you are going to have to get me to throttle back on where I'm painting it. It was on the rear doors, sides of the box and on the cab doors when we got it. I'm thinking of all kinds of places we can rock the name for the truck.

And I forgot to thank Phil, Phil, The Hoff, Jim and Dad for a really fun afternoon. I was wipped out from my sleep apnea test the night before. I intended to just go home and nap till the event was over but you guys are so much fun to shoot the bull with I just stayed the course and hung out. I'm glad I did. Thanks guys.

The MVCC supported another Home for Our Troops fund raising events in downtown Parker, CO on 8-5-12. The organizers credited us with bringing in a bunch more people who from what they said donated some serious money. Always a good cause to support.
