The GMC CCKW

I went to the unveiling of the 7th Armoured monument on september 29th at the Baraque de Fraiture crossroads in the Ardennes, a.k.a. the Parker's crossroads, where units of the 7th Armored Division managed to stall the German advance just long enough at a crucial point in the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. I went with a group of friends there, we all have 7th AD markings on our trucks. The veterans were very happy to see us, they told us they only see vehicles with airborne markings at events, and they liked it a lot that we had markings from their 7th AD on our vehicles.
