My name is al kose, and im one of the volunteers here. Were going to talk about the american m4 medium tank. Probably one of the most prolific tanks of the Second World War. This particular example was one of the earlier versions. This is the m4a3 tank. This is armed with a 75 millimeter main gun.

I want to begin today, as i did yesterday with a quote, and in the introduction to the quote, has anyone not seen saving private ryan . Anyone not seen it . Thats what i figured. For those of us that have served and particularly those of us that have faced combat that opening scene is something that youll never forget, ever. I hope you never forget it, but the scene most important to me actually came later in the movie. Tom hanks laying on the rubble called over private ryan and he asked him to kneel down, and he said to him two words, earn this.
