SUMTER, S.C. (AP) — A Cold War-era M48 Patton tank has gotten a much-needed makeover and is back outside Patton Hall at a South Carolina Air Force base.
The command historian for U.S. Army Central tells The Post and Courier that the tank had faded over nearly a decade, and was beginning to show rust and other signs that restoration was needed.
The tank was restored at the Logistics Readiness Center in Fort Knox, Kentucky.
