There are a couple of things happening with the VMPA
website at the moment that will, hopefully, improve its
usability. The most recent change should be obvious to
folks who have visited the site previously: we have
changed layouts. The new layout, which fills the whole
screen, relies heavily on frames for the menu, header,
and content section. This will allow us to easier add
pages to the menu, which means that expanding the site
and adding to it will be simpler and thus, faster.
New to the site is the
addition of the "History" section where VMPA members can
share bits of history that they feel will interest
others viewing the website: scans of manuals,
photographs of unusual uniforms worn in theater, quips
and notes about history in general. As the VMPA
encompasses military history as a whole, this leaves us
open to adding a lot of interesting and informative
pages in the future, and we hope that our members will
take the time to contribute to these pages.
Members, this is a website for everyone in
the Virginia Military Preservation Association, which
means that we want your submissions of stories,
pictures, upcoming events, and other materials that will
be useful to everyone. If you have anything you'd like
to share with everyone else, please feel free to email
it to the webmaster to be included!

Club member Adrian Winget recently purchased a World War I
Liberty Truck, which he is looking to restore and, hopefully,
bring to events with him in the near future. We are looking for
information on Liberty Trucks that can help with the restoration
process, such as the following:
- Drawings of plans of the
bed and cab
- Manuals
- Photos of WWI Liberty
Trucks, period or restorations
- Spare parts
If you think you can help, or
have materials that you would be willing to sell, trade, or
simply pass along, please
contact Adrian via email.
