Vietnam Gun Trucks

Review copy of new gun truck video

[@terryfowler6090]

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.

Long ago, was a mechanic with Battery E 41st Artillery (MG) one of three ADA batteries of Quad Fifty Gun Trucks in Vietnam. Stationed at AnKhe and Tuy Hoa, QL19 from Pleiku to Quin Nhon, QL 1 to Tuy Hoa. Was I ever that young? Prayers for all who fought for all who suffered, for all who still suffer. from the Second Indochina War. Our Vietnam War

A very good video showing how American soldiers defended themselves on the convoys . Could have been a lot longer .

I had a relative who served in the 5533 the leaning shithouse he was assigned to the Widowmaker and the Ace of spades got to see the second Eve of destruction in Virginia suggest everyone go and see the transportation museum

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.

@@sherristaples7293 Very well done video and could have gone on longer with stories of how the gun trucks repelled attacks and protected the convoys .

A disappointing chapter of American History.

Helping a nation defend itself from evil Communist forces ? I think not .
