Warhorse

"No honours wait him, medal, badge or star,

Though scarce could war a kindlier deed unfold;

He bears within his breast, more precious far

Beyond the gift of kings, a heart of gold."

--From the poem "A Soldier's Kiss" by Jack May


The mighty JERRV or Cougar MRAP, (in this case actually a training version taken in Florida during pre-deployment spin-up), loved or hated by those who drive them depending on each truck's individual quirks as much as any steed of yore. They've bruised, pinched, burnt, and battered me, but they've also saved my ass a time or two. A toast to those that make them.
