A fine day to take in some history
This past Saturday, my kids and myself traveled to the Fort Lewis Military Museum to learn a little bit about the largest military base in the state of Washington. What I did not expect was to learn so much.
This is a continuation article. There seems to be some arbitrary (at least unknown, to myself) limit to the size of an article, and my full article, even incomplete, was too large to publish.
Cold War History
Also on display is an interesting collection of Cold War artifacts and hardware. A few photos of the rolling-stock located outside the building. I’m in the process of trying to identify some of these Soviet Block weapons systems, few of them had current placards.

The Soviet Block – unidentified medium tank is a T72M or Asad Babil {Iraqi copy of the T72M). The Soviet Block – unidentified light armor is a BRDM-2, an amphibious recon vehicle. Both are very likely to have been captured in Iraq.
