On the 80th anniversary of the iconic Sherman tank that spearheaded America’s liberation of Europe during World War II, the Museum of American Armor is seeking to honor those veterans who crewed these legendary vehicles along with their families.
The Armor Museum has put out an “All Points Bulletin” for Sherman tank families to join the Armor Museum in observing the milestone anniversary on Thursday, Nov. 10, at noon, on the eve of Veterans Day 2022.
“Sadly, we recognize that many of the Sherman tank crews are gone but their legacy is lasting,” Kevin Carroll, the Armor Museum’s community affairs director said. “The invitation is out to all surviving Sherman tankers but we are also asking the families of Sherman veterans to join us in ceremonies that mark the 80th anniversary of when this iconic tank was introduced into combat.”
In recognition of its considerable importance, the Armor Museum’s acquisition of a Sherman tank was one of the first actions undertaken by the museum’s founder and president Lawrence Kadish when he undertook the creation of the museum.
“The Armor Museum continues to offer a powerful presentation that keeps alive the legacy of our nation’s military and the gift of freedom they have given all of us,” Kadish said. “The Sherman tank is an important
part of that story and so we are asking tanker veterans or their survivors to come forward and help us preserve their legacy.”
Some 50,000 Sherman tanks were built by nearly a dozen different manufacturers during World War II, making them available to the Allies as well as American forces fighting in Europe and the Pacific. While not as well armed as its German opponents, the Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively fast, and produced in great numbers. As combat evolved during the conflict, America tankers changes their tactics to confront and defeat the enemy’s superior armor.
“You can’t effectively tell the story of American courage during World War II without this particular tank on operational display,” Kadish said.
Sherman veterans or their families are invited to reach out to the museum through its website, www.museumofamericanarmor. com to confirm their attendance.
