www.classicmv.com I wanted to let all the AR MVPA members know that if they
have a military vehicle or related parts for sale that I
would be happy to list them on my web site at no charge. No
commission charge if the item sells either.
I have been getting good
response from my web site so far. I will list any MV or part
for free for any AR MVPA member. All they would have to do
is email me pictures of the item and a description. I would
put their contact info with the description. Any interested
buyer could contact them directly that way.

Under age
veterans: This is an international website for veterans
that signed up for service in the military, but
were underage. They hid their correct age
in order to serve. They contributed to the
victories in World War II, the Korean War and
other conflicts. Some served as young as
12, 13 and 14. Most were between the ages
of 15 and 17. The age for enlistment was
18 for men and 21 for women (in World War II).
This is a website with a membership for under
age veterans. Many were afraid to tell
their correct age for years after the war.
They certainly didn't tell their correct age
while serving for fear of being punished and
released from service.
www.oldvums.org
is the international site.

Shipping: I work for
uShip.com, a website
that matches people with something to ship with
transportation companies that can handle the job. We
recently became an Associate Member of the MVPA and are
reaching out to fellow members. We specialize in the
transport of large and hard-to-ship items, and military
vehicles would definitely fall into that category, so we
wanted to get the word out to MVPA members. uShip.com enables MVPA members to find great deals on
professional transportation for their military vehicles.
By listing their item for shipment, members receive bids from professional transporters, can check customer
reviews and then select the service that works best for
them. Transporters bid against each other to win the
job, driving down the cost of shipping. We have
set up a page just for MVPA members at
http://www.uship.com/mvpa
and welcome anyone who needs a military vehicle, parts
or other large items shipped to give us a try. If you
think your chapter's membership would be interested in
this service, I'd be happy to provide more information.
We're excited about working with MVPA members, and
hopefully we can help to transport more MVs to events
and anywhere else they need to go. Thank you for your
time, and don't forget to look for us in Supply Line.
Thanks,
Adam
