Anyone know anything "National Museum of Americans at War"
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Look at the president. 'Allen Cors' - The Owner of the VMMV (Virginia Museum of Military Vehicles) A very nice collection of armor that is open to the public maybe once a year. Those vehicles are probably actually part of that collection.

Everything at their web site seems to written in the future tense (except their plea for support Rolling Eyes

) So I'm not sure if it is actually operational. I know, it is close enough that I should make a trip down to check out. Maybe in the fall.

The Freedom Museum at the Manassas Airport is no longer asscciated with Allan Cors and the VMMV. The VMMV collection is to eventually be the centerpiece for the Museum of Americans at War, which will basically tell the story of the US serviceman in the 20th century to the present. I will be with some of the VMMV volunteers at Beltring. If I get more news I will pass it on when I return. I will also see if something is possibly coming in the Fall.
