I just received notification from the MVPA that Steve Preston has passed away from an accident at a military show, along with a friend, Austin Lee.
TAPS to our HMV brothers. My condolences to the families.

Re: Steve Preston R.I.P...
I saw this posted on several sites now..........It is certainly a sad chain of events. It looks like an explosion in the turret while they were at the range filming, sending 76MM rounds down range.

I am saddened every time one of our brother collectors passes away, I did not know these gentlemen but I do pray for their families in this time of loss.
