The armor exhibits at the General George S Patton Jr. museum must be returned to the museum as soon as possible.

I will attempt to show that unless they are returned, the Patton museum will lose its identity as the best collection of armor exhibits in the entire world and it will severely hurt Kentucky’s economy.
