The military vehicle hobby, like any other is all about friendships, preservation, history and fun. I do this because I like it. NO, Robert, I chose not to run for exec in the OMVA. Like many organizations, decisions are made to the benefit of the few, and generally do not reflect the majority. I am tired of the BS infiltrating my interests, I get enough BS at work. For once I'd like to see a group get along, afterall the key is to achieve the same end. As far as the OMVA goes, I have heard my share of stories regarding the petty BS over the years. If a guy, or a group of guys decides to put on an event, bravo. Unfortunately, large groups sometimes have so much red tape etc. that a good idea that is spur of the moment fails because of bureacracy, conflicting interests, ideas etc. I can understand this point of view. My suggestion of a new group to represent second war owners was merely a suggestion, not a cast in stone idea meant to overthrow the powers that be. Myself, I look forward to any and all events which include CMP vehicles, regardless of the agenda behind the scenes.
