Reflection  "C58 V was named 'Peace Maker.' At some point they made us wipe out the peace sign that was on the one flag, which was stupid, since then the flag is just white, like a surrender flag. The crew was Willie Tanner (CO), Bob Fairfax (driver), and me (gunner).

     On the back of the V we had written 'Happy Trails.'  " SP/4 John J. Ellison,  C Company, 720th MP Battalion, 89th MP Group, 18th MP Brigade, July-December 1971.
