BIGGREG Posted May 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2013 Recently we had the chance to participate in the Opening of the REED MUSEUM, we helped for all the preparation and decided to show the recent story of that unit. Here you will see part of it to be specific: Desert Strom Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted May 29, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 29, 2013 Looks good but the inverted V on the door is waaaay too neat for GI work! We used mops to paint on the desert CARC and a guy went around with black paint and made two rough lines for the V. It's sobering to see my era being represented in a historical sense, but good job!

MattS Posted May 30, 2013 Share #13 Posted May 30, 2013 Looking good! I would add a LBE (mostly for the canteens) and a M17 series mask when walking around. I remember that shortly after DS the order came down that jungle boots (OD or black) were no longer authorized, probably 1992 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysmb44 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #14 Posted May 30, 2013 Very good work! DS is something that you don't see much of now, but you will see more of every year. I got a group together in 2011 for the 20th anniversary of DS and we did several shows and parades set up for that era. We got a lot of thanks from the vets, one guy got misty eyed and said, "I swear, I never thought anyone would ever care about us..." Just like in the 80s and 90s people laughed at the idea that anyone would ever wanna do Vietnam living history, DS is inevitable. I tell youunger collectors all the time to buy up all the good DS stuff they can and hold onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
