2012 Ft. Ligonier (Pennsylvania) parade

Post by CID Vet » Sun Oct 28, 2012 4:11 pm

Enjoying the 1943 GPW's first parade.

The only two WWII vintage jeeps in the parade. A 1944 Willys MB in front of my 1943 Ford GPW.

Me and my daughter at the jeep's first parade - the 2012 Ft. Ligonier, PA Days. I marked her up to reflect the HHT, 11th Armored Cavalry Group - Mech from WWII. I earned my spurs with the 11th ACR when I was in Germany in 1993, so I thought it would be neat to honor those who went before me in the same unit almost 70 years ago. Because of the Cav connection and owning a stable business in real life, I named her "Horsin' Around" and put a horseshoe on the grill! I had my Ipod in the backseat playing war movie tunes, as well as other patriotic songs. It was a cold, but beautiful day. Allons!!!!

Pat, she looks great! I'm happy you're getting her some exercise.

You don't often see the 11th Cav Grp on a bumper. Nice touch for a great unit still in service today.

Great to see the youngsters enjoying and appreciating a piece of history, and two good looking jeeps.
