We have started a 25th group here in southwest Missouri. We currently have 9 guys fully outfitted. and one mutt. We are missing an m79. but other than that we are complete. I started it in honor of my friend. Ssg Brian Hobbs. Killed in Afghanistan, He was with the 25th. Pictures look great guys. As soon as i can ill get a group photo and shoot it out. We are doing a training day on the 27th. So ill try to get a good group photo.

Anyone that is looking to make an event we're planning on having one this fall here in Texas. The place has a full size army barracks and mess hall. So far we have 5 M113 FOVs planning on showing up along with a bunch of other vehicles. Should make for a good event. I'll post up more as it develops.

Thought some of you reenactors may want to attend.

Just got back from preserving some GREAT history. Attended a Living History Show with our MV club here in VT. Myself and two 16 yr olds represented Vietnam. While in convoy we had lots of looks as all of us were wearing flak jackets and helmets in a very loaded M151.
