hello everyone, does anyone know if Anniston Depot, Al has a display of any kind, would it be worth stopping by? I'm headed that way in a month or two........anyone know of anything in Panama or Columbia??

If you mean Colombia, there is an army museum in Bogata, however, it's pretty thin on armor*. The same can be said for the armed forces there generally, favoring wheeled AFV's and (in the past) light tanks like the Stuart (a few of which are sprinkled around at military bases, which are understandably very security conscious). Panama and Colombia have little suitable terrain or infrastructure to support heavy armor. They seem to have invested in anti-armor as a contingency measure.

*There is apparently a display there on Colombian participation in the Korean War, which came as news to me.
