The way I've seen it work in Georgia is that the VFW/ American Legion officers are retired military and know the right people on base to transfer any display they need. Lots of paperwork and the military retains ownership of the item(s) forever, supposedly. Our local American Legion had a small artillery piece out front that has gone missing or in storage but no one seems to know which. My guess is it will be a "barn find" sometime in the future. Wayne
