I recieved a thank you letter from IRAQ today for Jerry Griffin aka V-DRIVE VIDEO as he donated DVD's to the troops. Along with the letter I was sent
a couple of photo's of the troops that recived the DVD's and I wanted to share them with everyone on these boards.
Here is a little back story...every time somthing get's blown up military or not these guy's have to go clean it up.....including bodies and often while doing this the bad guy's are shooting at them. Kindsvater will be posting the pic's for me later as I dont know how :frown:
in one of the pic's is his whole unit 557th Recovery out of Fort Irwin(barstow)
The other pic are his(billy's) 2 vehicle's the one on the left has since hit a land mine and is no longer in service as well as the driver(billy)but he is recovering well. For a recovery team there sure is alot of gun's ,but BELIEVE
ME those boy's know how to use them! Watch Out Dirt Bags! :D

Props to Jerry for doing that :) . Those guys need fun things to look at instead of all the BS that gets thrown there way day in and day out. Hopefully there all home safe before "River Rats 3 & 4" come out.
