In surfing Arty sites, I came across a pic of an M102 located at 82nd museum.  It showed a plaque.  Does anyone know what is inscribed on it.

The reason I am asking is that I shot the first round on the M102's when the first one was assigned to th 82nd.  I remember using a 50 lanyard per SOP at the time.

At the time, I was Asst. Gunner on base piece A 1/320 Arty.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ted

All the way, sir!!!

I think it says, "This artillery piece was first fired when dinosaurs still walked the earth...."

That would mean that since I go back that far and am still breathing, I really must be "The meanest SOB in the valley".

I never liked that gun anyway.  I got along well with M101A1's.

All the way, sir!!!
