BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Veterans and community members got to work giving the American Legion Post 32's static display tank a new look.
The tank, which the post received back in November, was something the legion waited years for.
According to Ted Pafford, commander of the post, it's nice to finally clean it up and make it their own and it helps bring attention to the organization.
“It is nice to see people come out and take a look at it. It brings awareness to our post, not everyone is aware that American Legion is a veteran’s service organization, so it helps them come out and ask questions about it,” Pafford said.
The legion is painting the tank all one color, so it is easier to keep up with and the color represents the Vietnam era. According to Pafford, he hopes to see more community members stop by the post to see the tanks new look.
