Since I was there, thought this might be of interest,to some.
Here is a link to more pictures. I also had the 2nd Infantry Division flag out yesterday, since it likes the cold and snow.

Looks like the P-47s cannon did a number on that loco!
OldMike,
First- Thank you for your service to our country!!!
I wonder if those soldiers were railfans, maybe looking for a builders plate or brass bell?
Thanks Rich: Anything brass was stripped long before they got there. Since everyone seems to like pictures here is me somewhere on the DMZ Nov 1971. I am on the right. A 1/15 FA.
