Thanks to the support of our community we were able to raise between dinner and traditional open house events (March 22nd &23rd) and the Fightin Texas Mud Run(April 13th)almost $35,000. These funds allow us to run the electric service to the building, do the front entry way and on the inside do the interior walls to the right of the entrance which has to be done before the stairs to the second floor can be installed. Our new total is $377,800 to finish the building.

We have almost finished the restoration of our Cobra heliocopter which we will hang from the ceiling in the museum building in about 2 weeks. Work continues on the restoration of our WWI French Renault FT-17 Light Tank and our Vietnam M50A1 Ontos Multiple Gun Carriage.

Pictures of our progress can be seen on our facebook pages.
