Calling all military vehicle enthusiasts for spring tour

A group of veterans and military vehicle enthusiasts gathered Oct. 24, at the Natural Mercantile in Hamilton for a fall tour. They typically drive Loudoun’s dirt roads – roads that are less traveled in the western part of the county. The tours last about four hours, which includes a lunch break half way through the tour.  Their lunch stop this tour was in Unison.

Most of the group were from Leesburg except for Mat Curtis, who is from Purcellville, and Lee Phillips who is from Hamilton.  Two others were from Arlington, and decided to join in on the fall tour.  The vehicles pictured here are from the 1940’s and 50’s – World War II and Korean War time period.   

The group puts together two tours a year – one in the fall, and one in the spring.  These tours came about through discussing the idea at the Memorial and Veterans Day events in Leesburg several years ago, where most of the group got to know one another.    

If other military vehicle owners would like to join the spring tour, contact Lee Phillips at leehvfd@aol.com.
