Ground Mounted Sterling (non-operational) in Sulphur Springs, TX

If anyone has a burning desire to lay hands on a Sterling, well, have I got the post for you. I ran across this ground mounted Sterling in Sulphur Springs, TX. Looks to be some kind of memorial to the fire department. Kinda cool! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SgSpYbP0G_D-1yVG8WCFNDmv_Wvph6Vzte4o...
