Qui, tres bien. J'aime vraiment les photos séquentielles. Très agréable. J'ai aimé aussi les photos de véhicules, donnant un coup de pied en haut la terre.

 

Translation for our English friends:

 

Yes, very good. I really like the sequential photographs. Very nice! I also like the photos of the tanks, kicking up the dirt.

Great photos, as usual, V. And, as usual, I'm quite jealous that you get so many great shows over there and I don't get to see much of that sort of things. That was a great collection. Very impressive.

 

As far as riding on tanks is concerned; there's no such thing in today's safety conscience military. Only the most dire of military necessities would make that happen without someone getting in serious hot water. I did get to ride in an M1 Abrams. It was very cool. That was from when I was the 2d Tank Battalion Commo. It was a good time. Now I'm a staff pogue. Oh well!
