@roy_kinsella The adaptation of the VLRA for convoy work with UNOSOM was a brilliant idea. In 1997 I met the founder-President of ACMAT at their exhibition stand in Paris. At the entrance was a large photo of the Irish modified VLRA . The Irish bought 15 which was ACMAT's first foreign sale.

@_IDFOC As an Irish vet, US Army trained, with a lifelong love of the USA in my heart, and PRO UN vet, I am appalled at the current treatment of Irish vets who participated in UN missions being blocked from visa clearance to visit the USA. Joe Biden, sort this mess out now!
