My great grandfather was a dentist and served as a medical officer with the 97th Infantry Division in WW2. He was in Europe with them and then traveled to Japan where he was the general administrator of a hospital in Tokyo. The Navy Dentist who carved “Remember Pearl Harbor” into Tojo’s dentures worked for him and my great grandpas name is listed in several articles discussing the event. It’s a front seam fixed bale helmet and the liner has the majors oak leaves painted on it as well.

I was leaving lunch headed back to work today when I witnessed a pretty severe accident. Orange car pictured ran a red light going about 40 and t-boned another vehicle driving in front of me. The orange car immediately had an engine fire so I pulled my extinguisher out of my headrest carrier and me along with another individual with a fire extinguisher were able to get the fire out. Driver was severely injured with a neck injury and semi-conscious and unable to be extracted from the vehicle so this could have been a life and death situation. Carry your gear and know how to use it

Edit: I got the fire extinguisher mount from Garage Monkey, which appears to no longer be in business. I’ll post another picture later when I get to my vehicle to show my set up. I think you could make something similar or possibly purchase an equivalent product. I would certainly buy more of them but obviously haven’t found one again. I also have a NAR trauma kit mounted in an Amazon Velcro pack above the fire extinguisher but did not grab that as the fire was the primary concern and EMS were already en-route.

Edit 2: The mount is a Atomic Monkey MonkeyGear FE3 headrest mount. I’m pretty sure I actually saw it on /r/VEDC and bought one. They appear to be out of business, I bought mine from their storefront on Amazon around 2019
