Monument and cemetery at Bois de Belleau, France, where on June 6, 1918, the US Marines stopped the Germans and turned the tide of the war in the Battle of Belleau Wood
A lighthearted recollection of the CB rage of the 70s and a reminder to bear in mind what the true significance of June 6th is.
Brings back great childhood memories. Thanks!
Great 70s song, lousy movie.

I loved that song because I saw it as a protest against the 55 mph speed limit that President Nixon had imposed on the country to “save energy.” In my view, getting rid of it was President Clinton’s greatest accomplishment.
I had ALL of the CW albums on eight track. Good stuff. Strangely, Convoy was one of their few songs that I didn’t care for.
I do recall seeing Fries on American Bandstand doing this one with a Jeep CJ on the stage.
One of the most horrific memories of my childhood was watching McCall lipsync this on TV.
All fun songs

Cledus Maggard was probably funnier though. He did The White Knight, Kentucky Moonrunner {a sequel to The White Knight}, and Dad I gotta go. All truck songs.
