Unit 3 proposal

In this proposal the intended audience for Project IV is: The authorities responsible for the decision making regarding the move.
Why should your audience care about the topic and your proposal? Kentuckians especially are losing historical exhibits which require one to go to Georgia now in order to see.
One thing I think I did well in my  proposal is: Provide adequate information regarding the topic.
One thing I am not so sure about in my proposal is: Did I properly address the authorities responsible and did was my argument persuasive enough.

All of the Armor and Cavalry exhibits should stay at Fort Knox. Starting in 2010 over 95% of the Armor and Cavalry exhibits were removed from the Fort Knox Patton museum and were either placed in storage awaiting shipment to Fort Benning Georgia, or have already shipped.  The Army’s explanation is because the Armor and Cavalry Center which was formerly at Fort Knox has now moved to Fort Benning Georgia, which is already the home of the United States Infantry. The Cavalry and Armor Exhibits have been at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox since its opening in 1949, countless volunteer hours and donations have been spent to preserve the exhibits. Moving any of the exhibits to Fort Benning which is already the home of infantry and previously had no real connection to Armor or Cavalry is not fair to Kentuckians, veterans and enthusiasts who have enjoyed the countless exhibits for over 60 years now. I recommend that the exhibits be moved back to Fort Knox, the original home of Cavalry and Armor as soon as possible.
