The U.S. is home to a large number of Military Vehicle organizations, formed by their members to share information and have MV get-togethers. Many of these organizations are under the umbrella of the MVPA but some are independent. These organizations are dedicated to honoring the military past and present by study and restoration of the vehicles. Generally, you do not have to own a military vehicle to join and can do so as a step toward learning enough to take the plunge. MVPA chapters are the place to find people with similar interests who are willing (even eager) to help you get started or to tackle an advanced project.
