    An armored military vehicle, likely an armored personnel carrier or light tank, is parked inside a warehouse or hangar. The vehicle has been painted white and features hand-painted graffiti-style text including 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX 2009', 'AHN', and 'LIL TAN'. The setting appears to be an indoor storage or display facility with industrial lighting.

    The M8 Light Armored Car, known as the Greyhound, produced by Ford Motor Company starting in 1943 and used by British troops as well as the 14th Cavalry Group in Europe and the Far East during World War II. Soldiers from the Combat Repair Team, Company B, 225th Brigade Support Battalion, found the vehicle in the equipment boneyard on Camp Taji, northwest of Baghdad, and are refurbishing it in hopes to ship it back to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii for display as a part of Cavalry history.
