Re: Patton Museum - Fort Knox, KY

Must be nice to have spent so much time at this great museum. Do you have any more pics?

Unfortunately, no. I won't be back at Knox on TDY until November.

You are a tank Commander or group Commander, any pics of what you work with now?

As commander of the HQ Troop, I've got refurbished HMMWVs with beat-up old Deuces and 5-tons. And a big expensive Satellite dish. Nothing cool on the outside, but I do have some neat computers on my property book.

I have been on Fort Eustis ( Home of Army Transportation) several times. Lots of neat trucks etc in their museum.

Re: Patton Museum - Fort Knox, KY

I would have enjoyed the opportunity to see the museum at Fort Lewis, but I didn't have the time. The museum at Camp Ripley, MN, doesn't have anything extraordinary with vehicles, but they do have an impressive collection of firearms and MGs from past wars and current arms. I'll bring my camera next time I get there.

I have always wanted to get to Aberdeen but anytime I was at Andrews or Pax River I never made it up there.

I hear ya, they not just got tanks but a huge gun collection indoors as well. It is a shame that the tanks are outside the rain and snow and heart are taking there toll on them.
 

Hey, I had a signature here where did it go?????
