On May 17, 1995, San Diego watched in disbelief as a stolen military tank rumbled through city streets and onto State Route 163, leaving destruction in its wake.

In this special Community Voices episode, a firsthand witness shares her memories of that unforgettable day. From the shock of seeing the tank to reflecting on how the experience has stayed with her over the years, this conversation offers a deeply personal perspective on one of San Diego's most extraordinary events.

While history often remembers the headlines, the people who lived through these moments carry stories that deserve to be heard. Community Voices is dedicated to preserving those memories with compassion and respect.

Thank you to my guest for trusting me with her story.
