Cool photos Vee, thanks.
A Moose no longer alone in the Wolverine State.
Qui, tres bien. J'aime vraiment les photos séquentielles. Très agréable. J'ai aimé aussi les photos de véhicules, donnant un coup de pied en haut la terre.
Translation for our English friends:
Yes, very good. I really like the sequential photographs. Very nice! I also like the photos of the tanks, kicking up the dirt.

Great photos, as usual, V. And, as usual, I'm quite jealous that you get so many great shows over there and I don't get to see much of that sort of things. That was a great collection. Very impressive.
As far as riding on tanks is concerned; there's no such thing in today's safety conscience military. Only the most dire of military necessities would make that happen without someone getting in serious hot water. I did get to ride in an M1 Abrams. It was very cool. That was from when I was the 2d Tank Battalion Commo. It was a good time. Now I'm a staff pogue. Oh well!

I visited this exhibition of tanks in Town Mons Belgium, and it was indeed very interesting, especially for the young people to give them an idea of what was the entry of the american forces liberating that part of Belgium ,on their way to Brussel, and at the same time the many divisions fighting though the country. I took not long to liberate the whole land.
A few days ago a lot of old army vehicules, organized by the Indean Head,were received in my town Rochefort, and the responsible of the town council have organized a nice ceremony at the monument and a big crowd was present. Those taking part in the demonstration received refreshments and food in the arts centrum. We will remain ever thankful to those who came overseas to clean occupied territories from the Krauts.We are also thankful for those who show gratitude to allied troops, with their splendid remakes, in perpetuing the souvenir of the dark days. Best regards to all.
Great image also ! I like very much !
Here, I got a Picasa account finally. Here are some photos from a Field Exercise (FEX) I did with 2d Tank Battalion in December of 2005.
