Dan, this begs a question — please explain: is this a permanent installation? Has one of the Compo Beach cannons been left behind? What is (or has been) going on?
This has been at the VFW for decades. I believe it was moved many, many years ago, during a restoration or renovation of the cannons at the beach.
