For you trivia buffs, the 37th Armor Reg't is the armorial descendant of (then) LTC Creighton Abrams' 37th Armor Battalion which led the relief of the 101st Abn at Bastogne in WWII...
Steve..FYI..a good story, and worth a link, and/or a bump, to the Treadheads..

How wonderful it must be for his wife and mother to realize that everyone loved and respected their fallen hero.
It's a great tank, and we can make it even better in the future.

Current plans call for the Abrams to remain in service until 2025. My bets are we see the Abrams until at least 2040. The M1A2 SEP is being improved on. Most of the SA electronics for FCS is being retrofitted into the Abrams and also the Bradley. These two warhorses will be around for many years doing the jobs they are best at doing - Killing bad guys.
