Preserving a piece of US Maritime History - invaluable

The USS Olympia is a cruiser that fought in the Spanish American War in 1898 and has been preserved in Philadelphia. She's a one of a kind ship, a national historic monument, and in danger. She needs approximately $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. If you have the resources, or connections to those resources, please consider helping. (full disclosure - there is no financial benefit to me to ask the question - we need to save this ship for posterity). Please contact me at 612-599-1935 or bdskon@fedex.com if you have additional questions.

Members of the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, greets the public and signs autographs after a Blue Angels
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (July 16, 2011) Members of the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, greets the public and signs autographs after a Blue Angels performance at the ESL Air Show. The event coincided with Rochester Navy Week, one of 21 Navy Weeks planned across America this year. Navy Weeks are designed to showcase the investment Americans have made in their Navy as a global force for good and increase awareness in cities that do not have a significant Navy presence.
