a great and wonderful photo. i take my hat off to all those men and women who fought for our freedom, and of which a lot paid for that freedom with their lives. i say thanks to those photographers who show us those sacrifices that the men and women of the allied forces made so that could have the life we do today.

Above photo is an M-3A1 'Stuart' Light Tank (I earlier identified this as just an M-3 but have since learned that the original M3 had sponson machine guns mounted on both sides of the driver(s) which were removed on the M3A1). Photo below shows an M3 "Stuart" Light Tank from the 13th Cavalry, 7th Cavalry Group (Mechanized) at Fort Knox with sponson machine guns mounted.
