On December 31st, 2007, we received a request from an American soldier in Iraq for one of our "Convoy Rubber Duck" hood ornaments. Through our correspondence, we learned that his company's original hood ornament, Pvt. "Charlie" Duck, an Alabama native, had been killed in action when an explosion hit his Humvee. Therefore, this company needed a replacement soldier - fast! So we called up Pvt. Convoy Duck, an Arkansan relative of the late Pvt. Duck, and deployed him across the ocean. Now in Iraq, his duties include boosting the morale of his fellow soldiers and guarding the Humvee on which he is mounted.
