The tank on the green in New Milford is getting a facelift.  Sandblasting and a full day of cleaning has taken place on the World War II tank.  It's been prepped for the primer and finish coats of paint tomorrow and Friday back to its original color.  The stars and serial number are set to be added next.  The tank was donated to the Town of New Milford in 1947.  A social media campaign asked for donations to help repair the tank, which had peeling paint and some rusted areas.  The project was funded quickly.  Restoration began last week with all the work and supplies donated by local people and businesses.
