Along the way to State College, PA on Rt. 322, is the little town of Boalsburg. Here you'll find the Pennsylvania Military Museum and the Twenty-eighth Division Shrine. It's a place of quiet reflection, with a number of military vehicles and armament from WWII and later. Set in a little copse of trees, just off the roadway of rt. 322, is Abagail. She's a Sherman tank manufactured just after WWII ended.
The setting is perfect. I wanted to get a view that an infantryman would have had, grateful for the big bulk of steel protecting him from small arms fire, crouched low to the ground.
My thanks go out to all veterans, but especially those from World War II. Truly, the Greatest Generation.
