9. Some of the tanks in the parade looked as if they were privately owned.

These might have been the tanks seen on I-66.

There was at least one Sherman in the parade. I doubt that the Army has them in use anymore. A Sherman is considerably lighter and smaller than a modern tank. It can be transported without too much difficulty on an interstate highway. The modern equipment is more ... challenging.
