  5. Great stuff! '40 convert and '34 coupe caught my eye.
    The shirtless man taking a belt of whiskey barely kept it down. His gut looked like a wave pool after that!

    It's hard to imagine how happy those folks were to finaly have it over so they could go on with their lifes. I wonder how many of them drove rice burners or euro-junk cars in their later years? A few years ago when there were still quite a few WWII vets around the VFW had a get together and blew up a Toyota and a VW bug just for fun. A good time was had by all!!

    The only Mitsubishi our family has ever owned was painted on the side of a P51 Mustang.
     
  9. Great video, thanks for sharing! Brings a tear to the eye.

    Sadly, as I watched the news and listened to the radio a few days ago on December 7th, I saw or heard no mention of Pearl Harbor. I know that the older generations remember, but I'm worried the younger generations aren't being taught about such an earth changing event and it is slipping away.
    It's a damn shame.

    Thankfully it was mentioned here on the HAMB, and I read some great stories and now saw this super video.

    Thank you vets for all you have done and are doing for us! GOD BLESS AMERICA! E

    I would like to see what would happen to someone bowing down in protest with that bunch of hero’s ! God bless those who served and sacrificed for us . God bless the USA , it has its faults but it’s a damn sight better that the second one in line !
