RESTORATION ON WWII TANK IN MONESSEN NEARLY COMPLETE

Restoration work on a World War II-era tank on display in Monessen is nearly complete.  The Trib reports that the tank has seen wear and tear after years of exposure to the elements.  Workers from Regal Industries in Donora have cleared off multiple coats of paint to prepare it for a fresh coat.  The tank was installed at the park in June 1959 after being donated to the city by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1190 in Monessen. Donations are covering the cost of the restoration.   They are still being accepted and any additional funds will go toward the Veterans War Memorial Trust.
