The 2008 reunion was a success.
Our destination was Charleston, SC. Our group toured Patriot's Point Naval & Maritime Museum - home to the USS Yorktown (aircraft carrier), USS Clamagore (submarine), USS Laffey (destroyer) and USCG Ingham. While Patriots Point displays naval vessels and aircraft - it was still a exciting time for the veterans of our group as because some of the veterans visiting owe the navy for their rescue.
What would a visit to Charleston be without a visit to Fort Sumter? Our group visited the fort - which included a 30 minute ferry ride through Charleston Harbor which included some history about the city, harbor and the fort. Also there were National Park Servce Tour Guides at the Fort to provide us with some history.
We also visited Magnolia Plantion which include a house tour and nature tour by tram.
