Steve Greenberg Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hello, On 4 Sept. I took a USMC Korean War Veteran out for a DUKW ride in the Willamette River. This was the first time he had been in a DUKW since 1952! He was in "A" Co. 1st Amphibian TRK. BN. 2nd Platoon. He went in the Marine Corps when he was 18 and was an assistant DUKW drive during the Korean War. His father, a former WWII Veteran, was the driver in the same DUKW! He said the DUKW ride brought back a lot of memories from his youth! Here is a link to a youtube video: Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyH Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Well done, bet you both enjoyed that day out. Had my first ride in a DUWK 1950something, age 6 or so. Had to wait 50 odd years for my second. A big yellow double decker around Liverpool. Keep on duwking. BillyH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
