Help Revive Historic Field Pieces at the TMFM

Tax deductible
The Texas Military Forces Museum needs your help. Through a generous donation, we have added a 37mm towed field piece, a 57mm towed field piece and a 1/4-ton trailer to our collection. BUT THEY NEED WORK! The 37mm is finished and you may veiw a gallery here; https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1385000273008193&type=3
The 57mm is in progress. Some critical parts have been provided, but we still need about $1,500 to finish the job. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1402947144546839&type=3.

Please, every dollar helps! We have already displayed the 37mm at our "Close Assault" and "Hands on History" living history events. Won't you help us bring the 57mm back to the same glory as its brother?

During WWII, the US Army used three towed ant-tank cannon; the 37mm, the 57mm, and the 3-inch. We have had a beautifully restored 3-inch in our collection for some time. We now have the opportunity to display all three, side-by-side, in a rare and unique tribute to the US Tank Destroyer Forces.

Thank you for your support.
