The Jackson tank destroyer. If I remember my history correctly, Creighton Abrams was in charge of one during the battle of the bulge and was point man for the 3rd Army's breakthrough to Bastogne. If I have remembered incorrectly feel free to correct.

Gen.Abrams came into our signals bunker in Quan Tri
for an inspection in `71.Seemed impressed by our setup.

My father remembered him from ww2 service.

Daddy also used to talk of the terror those 88`s and
Tigers would create for the GI`s.A tree-burst ended
daddys time on the line.At least he got out alive barely.
