There used to be a Soviet built PT 76 tank on display there. It may still be there. It is hardly an impressive looking tank...but it gets your attention when it is shooting at you. Intel estimated we had 10 of them shooting at us. I led the men who knocked out two of them in the battle of Ben Het. I called in the Airstrikes and Artillery that night (26 years ago Thursday) from the very front edge of the battlefield. I haven't seen it, but I've been told one of the tanks we captured was on display at Ft Meade. I've received email overnight from two men who were with me that night. They always check in around the anniversary. I'll sure be glad when the combat phase is over for our folks in Iraq. uw
