I have that car. It runs on the Christmas layout, just like the N scale POW MIA car runs all year on my other layout.  I've never served, but I do appreciate that our military doesn't mince words! Life Liberty and the pursuit of those who threaten it. 

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen, who do/have served.

While in the navy and stationed at Bremerton, I do recall seeing a yellow GE 80 ton ( or so) switcher as below:

Now I do not know how many the Navy had US wide, but I am sure a little bit of internet searching would turn up an answer.

 

Further, this is a double whammie, because you get a "Navy" loco and a Navy load.

 

The other cars I would like to see would be some of the DODX cars used to transport spent fuel rods and other "reactor stuff".  I did in fact get to see quite a few of those cars out about 60 miles West of Idaho Falls when I was in Nuclear Prototype school in the late 80's....  Those are some really interesting cars.
