Exsqueeze me, but why would you be hesitant to be around cops in your military uniform? Were you AWOL???? I don't recall ever being concerned about that when I was in the Army, except for the time they pulled me over for speeding at 4am when I was trying to get back to the post for Monday morning formation. I hoped the two CHP would take pity on a G.I. (this was during the VEEET NAAM thing), but they just eyeballed me and said "Where you headed so fast, Sarge?" like I got dressed up like this to go to the store.

Because the whole thing was none of my business and I didnt want passerbys to see the old guy getting hooked up by the cops with a military guy gawking. Plus on more than one occasion, people have seen the first sergeant diamond and wanted me to get into the situation. This was one of those times where this is none of my business. In the event that anything were to have happened just me being there in uniform would have made me a spokesman for the military.

I just talked with Bob and unfortunately it was a red 75 that was hit. The worst part is that the 75 that just got hit was just being finished up after being in an accident in the rear. The 75 that was hit was between my 72 and the fully restored 66
I guess yesterday was my lucky day!!!!

Yeah, I'm familiar with what you are talking about. I used to live down in South FL back in the 70s and 80s.
