The Moving Wall is my town this weekend.

that's cool, i been to the real wall (we had a relative die there in 71)...never knew there was a traveling wall.

3rd pic from the bottom.....a BAR? in 'nam? my grandpa was BAR gunner in ww2, thought it was replaced by the the m60 by nam, where's DG?

I think they were in the begining of it. They have some Jeeps there from Korea so it isn't an exact display anyway.

is the M-422 A1 really a JEEP,never seen one of those

Fits the basic discription, if you check into them there was a lot more to the Jeep than just what Willys brought to the table for WWII.

The infamous grille (that whoever owns Jeep this week is so proud of) was designed by Ford to simplify construction during the war compared to the complicated original welded grille. Willys changed the number of slats after the war to keep the vehicle because Ford wanted it bad and was claiming the patent. That is why postwar Ford Jeep designs had the slats going horizontally (like the pictured M151)

well i'm sitting by my father, and i'd rather have him here then on the wall! dad was in Nam, he wants to see the wall when it comes-- just don't know if emotionally he could..

I know I can't handle it....looking at these pics is bad enough...God love those guys who's names are there--what they had to go thru!!!!!!!!......

Not to jack the thread, but something close to where I live that's similar....the "Freedom Rock" in Winterset, Iowa.

Rather than post a ton of pix, here's a Google Image search.

If I ever became a fighter pilot, I could see this being the plane plane I would be assigned to...
