Wish I had known. My Dad was a plank owner (first crew during WW2) on BB62, and lobbied the governor to get her to Camden. Attending this 4th Degree would have been a privilege. He and our family attended her recommisioning in philedelphia for Service in Viet Nam.

Don’t you feel stupid requiring veterans to undergo a “patriotic degree”? This Marine proved his patriotism when he stepped upon the yellow footprints at Parris Island.

Yes, I suppose a battleship embodies everything that America stands for. Pity the KofC can't lead her away from that.

What do you mean when you said " Pity" they cannot lead her away from that . Thank you
