M56 in Elmwood Park, NJ

 

On September 21st, 2022, I visited the M56 Scorpion tank on the boulevard in my town of Elmwood Park. This hosts an anti-tank gun that was produced in the 1950’s, and saw combat in Vietnam. The tank was used by the US, but also made available to Spain, Morocco, South Korea and West Germany. This one in my town is one of two dozen that still exist and is on display for all who drive down the main avenue in my town. I have passed by this tank every single day, and it is right next to the place I work at. It is one of the many iconic symbols of our town.
