This story is from Jim Rose who was Staff Sargent with the 172nd Transportation Company  from 1961 - 1969. The 172nd Transportation Company was  U.S. Army Reserve Unit from Omaha, Nebraska. They were called to active duty in 1968 and trained at Ft. Lewis, WA prior to their deployment to Viet Nam. While at Ft. Lewis, they "recruited" a mascot that they simply call "The Crow". He accompanied them overseas and sat proudly in front of their unit headquarters. They painted an iconic image of him on all of their vehicles as they performed theirmission in Viet Nam.
