Employees of R.B. Jergens, of Vandalia, unhook the 60-ton MIAI Abrams Tank now on display at the Freedom Days event in Celina. The 32-foot-long tank is the same type being used by U.S. military forces in Afghanistan. A police escort assisted the Vandalia company in delivering the tank Friday morning from General Dynamics Land Systems in Lima. Freedom Days entertainment continues today and Sunday along Lake Shore Drive.
