Question for veterans.

It is not wrong, your purchase of that hat provides much needed support for the upkeep and maintenance of those old ships. Wear it, you have every right to do so. To me it says you where there and took an interest in your country's history and in the men and women who served.

You know, ask to volunteer as a maintenance worker or tour guide. I worked on the Aircraft Carrier Yorktown in Charleston for a few months. Recieved a resiprocity pass giving me access to a whole lot of other musuems in the area for free. And better still I was priviledged to meet a good many volunteer/vets that actually served on the Yorktown during WWII. Got to hear some incredible stories from these gentlemen over morning coffee in the ships wardroom.

Granted there probably isn't one alive to tell a personal story about the TEXAS but I bet there are some old timers milling about smartly that would be all to glad to bend yer ear over a story while serving on another ship or unit.
