This picture was taken in front of a former American Legion post in Key West. I have no clue what arty piece this is. No that fat guy is not Don Vitto. Just a out of shape doggy from the 1st Cav. To which the Armorer responded: Daniel - that's a US Model 1902 3-inch field gun - in need of some *real* TLC. That was our first modern field gun with a hydro-pneumatic recoil system, developed in response to out getting punched in the nose by Spanish artillery during the Span-Am War.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/the_armorer_get.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/the_armorer_get.html Wed, 12 Sep 2007 07:27:26 -0600 I was down in Key West last month and I do remember seeing the VFW. Seemed very rundown. I'm not sure they are even using it any more. There was a restaurant who's sign read "VFW and families welcome!!" Perhaps they are moving to better digs? Oh now that I think about Key West..I wanna go back!!! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/the_armorer_get.html#comment-64212 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/09/the_armorer_get.html#comment-64212 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:02:34 -0600
