[Bob Phillips]

New full page ad in the Globe & Mail How your community can apply for a LAVIII monument to commemorate Afghan war vets.b
Apparently these will be " full size replicas" whatever that means.. I assume that means stripped vehicles weld ed shut ?? Anybody know any more??

Gutted, portions of the armour replaced, freshly painted. You pay 10K for the LAV, transport from GDL, and have to make the pad according to their specs. Total outlay could be around $40K, depending on your distance from London ON.

At least these were the terms when it was discussed about a year back. I had heard rumblings that the program was on hold due to US state department concerns, but that may have just been rumour.

I have not spotted any yet, has anyone?

Museums are being offerred runners or monuments.

Originally no cost was discussed other than building a
suitable base. Then it went to
$10.000, now it is $15,000 plus plus. I have asked for a final price
and can't get a reply. This will eliminate a lot of small Legions
and Museums that have signed up.
The vehicles are totally stripped, inside and out. No lights, no tool brackets of any kind, front hatch eliminated and flat pieces everywhere.

I will post a picture later today.

Loved those pics from Australia of the Leo monuments being placed. Would love to see a few of those around here.
