I was an artillery forward observer with F-Troop 17th Cav. We used to see these things all time running convoys with armored jeeps and V100s. Impressive firepower.

When these gun trucks were behind me on convoy I had peace of mind. I was the last vehicle in convoy, as wrecker operator, and these guys were great security. When they opened up at a firebase perimeter I will never forget that sound. Thanks guys.

Good documentary I don’t know why they had some college girl on there talking about Vietnam? It’s a story of the men that served. Not some college girl who has no business being in the same room.

Mr. Silver, I am not sure what you heard. The brief narration in the beginning of this video is narrated by a Black man, a professional voice over talent. We chose him because the majority of Gun Truck drivers and operators were African Americans. This video is part of a major exhibit on Vietnam at the Ft. Eustis Transportation Museum.
