If you want to get in on the action yourself, there are slots available to ride in some of the vehicles and safely handle some of the historic weapons.

Executive director Leisha Mullins called it a fun way to honor military service ahead of Veterans Day.

“It’s a wonderful time for people to actually come out and experience history coming alive so they can see the vehicles in action,“ she said.
