Thank you for the pics of the tanks. Loved the "pranged" effects on the T-72. I didnt know Ft. Lewis had vehicles on display. I will research the facility etc.

Went to the F/ Lewis Museum website and WOW what a great facility. The exhibits are workmanlike and effective. The vehicles are kept up with the paint jobs are the tracks are supported from sinking into the soft ground with concreye type stands.
