The 14th Armored Re-Creations Group will have a M5A1 in the Vet's Day
parade on Saturday, the 6th in St Louis.
Keith Moore will also have his M5A1 there as well with 3rd Armored Markings.
2nd Rangers will be along and will be on foot and riding in an M3 Halftrack
provided by the 14th...............as well as a CCKW.
Will post some pics Sunday.
We will have a guest of Honor in the parade. Sgt Roy Lynch, HQ Command 2nd
Armored Division. Sgt. Lynch knew General Rose and drove jeeps and M5A1
Tanks for several notable command figures in the 2nd Armored Division HQ
Command.
Sgt. Lynch wrote a book about his experiences in Europe from D-Day to the
end of the war and his return home. He is a true gentleman in every sense of
the word.
We hope to get Sgt. Lynch into one of the M5s so he can drive one again, one
last time! Roy is 86 years old and very excited to get a chance to drive an
M5 again.
Jon
