Went to the Medal of Honor Parade today and met and got signatures from 13 recipients including WWII's first recipient John Finn. Now that's I've gloated, there were a couple Hummers in the parade and thought I'd share.
Chickasaw Tribe's Lighthorse H2.. notice the handprints on the hood as in "place your hands on the car"... Also the running boards had flashing lights all down them....
And the US ARMY recruiter's H3. Funny I was there in my H3 and the guy driving this H3 was with 10th Mtn Division. My Grandpa's unit and I'm in the 10th Mtn Descendants group... cool

Thats awesome! I got to meet John Finn when he arrived at DFW earlier this week! I head up a volunteer group for my company that works with USO. What an honor it was to meet him! I spoke with he and Bruce for a long time. John was the recipent of the MOH for his actions in pearl harbor! He is 98 years old and just a great guy! As I helped him to the restroom in the USO lounge, he says..."Thanks Bill... I have to go shake the dew off my lilly!" LOL 98 years old and still sharp as a blades edge.

Nice rides and great story about Mr. Finn. I'd almost hate to drive that H2 at work! That truly would be a bug zapper for drunks when lit up at night on the side of the road! Then again... guess it is better to be rearended in an H2 as opposed to a Crown Vic, Impala or Charger! Thanks for sharing.

Both Hummer's look awesome!
That H2 looks like it belongs in a TV series titled: "CSI San Francisco"

You should see the system that they we have in the back cargo area of that H3. I can get you some pics of it, 12" subs, Xbox, DVD, additional stereo head. It's pretty cool when you park it and crank it up playing Call to Duty or something. Of course we have the Americas Army game in it
Nice story, thanks for sharing.

Great pics. Thanks for posting them. That Army H3 is very cool. The H2 is a bit over the top.
