ECSAA
now has its own museums aboard three aircraft carriers
which are now floating museums...USS Lexington, USS Hornet and USS Midway.
These
ships have set aside compartments in which only CVE displays and memorabilia
will
be exhibited. Our "museums" on these ships will be visited by millions of people each
year,
and it is up to us to send these museums our "stuff" to display.
Clean out your attic and garage and shoe boxes. Open those musty old boxes
where you have stored your Navy "stuff" and send it to one
of these ships for display. Your name will be posted as a
contributor to the museum. Do it now! |
