We welcomed hundreds of you aboard not only to help us honor those who served in a Veterans Day Ceremony, but also to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the USMC! We welcomed aboard keynote speakers, Colonel H.C. “Barney” Barnum USMC (Ret.) and Brigadier General Dustin J. Byrum, as well as BB62 MARDET who served aboard this ship in the 80’s! We asked that they cut the ribbon on their MARDET berthing space, which we’re excited to officially open to the public in the new year! #veteransday | Battlesh
