Went up to visit family in NJ last weekend, swung by the Newton Armory in Newton NJ on the way back. I've spent some time here years ago, and the old M60A1 is still parked there as a gate guard for the armory. I used to see this tank driving around in the early 1990s, they used to have it out on the main road, Rt. 206, for years as a recruiting tool. Now it's been dragged back by the main building, still same REALLY faded OD green paint job, almost black now. Paint is peeling off in many places, rust forming in all the crevices, and generally looking like a forgotten soldier. It probably won't be long until the tank is removed by the Army and towed to some range to be used as a target. Sad ending for such a big, honorable warrior.
Wish we could donate some time and paint to help fix her up, but I doubt the Army would like us playing around their "toy".
