Baytown veteran Mike Boyett recreates Willie from Bill Mauldin’s Willie and Joe in wood, outfitting the figure with Vietnam era gear. He and Jim Garrison compare wartime realities from Mekong Delta actions to Italy and Europe, noting modern equipment like M16 spacing, two canteens, improved grenades, jungle boots, and helmet bands, while the core image remains the infantry GI.

Honolulu buyers report rice purchases up to 25 pounds.
