Recruit<strong>in</strong>g & <strong>Fund</strong>rais<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Recruit<strong>in</strong>g can be fun if you just try…<br />

The pictures below were taken at the recent “MTA” Military<br />

Transport Association Show <strong>in</strong> Augusta, New Jersey on April 17-<br />

18-19. There were approximately 9,000 visitors and over 100<br />

military vehicles displayed. In addition, there were 143 vendor/display<br />

tables and 75 outside vendor displays.<br />

As it has <strong>in</strong> the past, the <strong>KWVA</strong> had three tables <strong>in</strong>side. My<br />

1952 M38A1 ¼-ton Jeep and my <strong>KWVA</strong> Recruit<strong>in</strong>g Trailer were<br />

on display outside.<br />

The trailer has wall-to-wall carpet and Korean War Posters on<br />

all the walls. It is used to carry my M38A1 to shows & parades.<br />

If th<strong>in</strong>gs go as projected, we have recruited several more<br />

<strong>KWVA</strong> members.<br />

Items for sale were T-shirts, license plate frames, and magnetic<br />

signs.<br />

I was assisted by Hector A. Cafferatta, Jr., MOH, Chapter<br />

Member Raymond Griffith, and New Jersey Department<br />

Commander George Bruzgis.<br />

Recruit<strong>in</strong>g can be fun if you just try. Most military vehicle<br />

club shows will donate table space to veterans’ organizations.<br />
