The Museum of American Armor has been honored with a national award for its educational programs
The Military Vehicle Preservation Association, (MVPA), the largest international historic military vehicle group with some 3,500 members in the United States and around the world, has presented The Museum of American Armor with its Jacque Littlefield Award for Excellence, an award that pays tribute to the late Mr. Littlefield whose vast collection of historic armor helped tell the story of American military valor.
In presenting the award to The Museum of American Armor, MVPA judges stated, “This is awarded to the institution or organization whose efforts significantly raise public understanding and appreciation of historic military vehicles. This year the MVPA recognizes The Museum of American Armor.”
The award citation notes, “Located in Old Bethpage, New York, the goal of The Museum of American Armor is to bring the sights and sounds of American history to a new generation, and thereby pay tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to defending our freedoms. The Museum has established a comprehensive living history program that permits the public to interact with military vehicles to tell the story of America’s role in WWII history.”
