Meet Eve.This is a photo of her in her younger days, back when she was one of several hundred, gun trucks used by the Motor Transport Corps to escort convoys in Viet Nam.

In this particular case, Fort Eustice, Virginia

Sad somehow.
The name is what this is about though.
It's interesting, to me, what kind of cultural things are picked up on.
This name in particular, as almost anyone knew from the start, is a play on words.
Here's the inspiration:
Barry McGuire
Overlook the production values and, for God's sake, overlook... whatever the hell it is he's wearing.
I have no control over these things.
It was 1965.
