NEWSLETTER EXTRA

Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors

Started December 2011

Updated 1/1/12

This page is to provide additional information and web links for items covered in the MVMVC (Merrimack Valley Military Vehicle Collectors) newsletter. Each month if there is additional information, web page links, additional photos the idea is to hot link it or display it on this web page. New information will be added from the top and old information deleted from the bottom as needed. This is an experiment your editor (me) can see how often the page is accessed so if I see the page being used I will try and keep adding to it each month. If the use statistics show that it is not being looked at them it will be discontinued.

When linking to a commercial site it is for informational purposes only, no recommendation for the product or company is intended, evaluate their information for yourself.

As yet your editor is not sure how the hot links will work, so remember your back arrow on your web page to this page.
