This M103A2 was donated by the USMC. It was transferred from A Company of the 8th Tank Battalion of the USMC Reserve at Louisville, Kentucky, in January 1974. It was on display for many years beside Skidgel Hall (building 1724) on Morande Street; by the summer of 2009 it had been moved to Richardson Motor Pool.
