1st/50th Infantry 2nd Armored Div (Hell on Wheels), that "tank trail speed would be 10mph except for
maintenance, I can't keep him under 50"

Knowing he was talking to me, I replied with "Just living up to the Division Motto Sir" which gave everybody
a good laugh, including him.

Previous day some officer had clocked my M578 doing 50mph, yes it was down hill.
