My Halftrack at an Early Morning Prayer Breakfast for Veterans

Post by 70th Division » Mon Feb 26, 2018 5:44 pm

Hello,

Here are some pictures of my Half -Track at a Prayer Breakfast,
November 11,2016 . It was her first official function !!!!!
It was organized and hosted by a very good restaurant on a Lake Weir, here in Florida.
It was a big event, and ALL receipts went to the Wounded Warrior Project Organization.
The Honor Guard was the best I have ever seen, they are a Junior ROTC unit from a local high school.
They did a fantastic professional job, with all branches of the Military represented.
Many Veterans were in attendance.
It was a very nice event to thank the local veterans and remember all who sacrificed for our country.

A manager there asked me if I would mind bringing it there for the now annual event.
I said absolutely, and took it there a day ahead of time :D :D :D

Hello,

Thanks for all the nice replies !!!
We really had a great morning there with the Veterans and their kids.
I had some old shell casings in the track that I gave to all the kids who asked about them.

It was its first outing and was a great use for the Halftrack.
I am looking forward to next November 11 !!
General Patton's birthday by the way :D :D :D

PS- The tracks are original 1944, and I have obtained correct rims for the front now.
Still holding up :D

Best Regards,
Ray
