USS Yorktown CG-48 was commissioned in Yorktown, VA on July 4,1984. Our last reunion in Knoxville (2018) successfully awarded 20 plus Yorktown sailors and "other observers" who were verified as Vietnam Vets. I'm using our opportunity to participate in the Annual Revolution Celebration in Yorktown, VA and establishing our "museum footprint" to honor Yorktown Vets who are attending this event, and to capture any Vietnam Veteran bystanders. This is why I am asking for some additional pins, etc., that can be returned if not used. However, the few pins left over from our 2018 reunion were issued at separate events, e.g., our plaque dedication at Navy Memorial on October 5, 2018 and when I was traveling in Kentucky and shopped at a local merchant's store ... he was a vet ... we talked ... and I honored him in front of customers and family right in the store .... it was a great tear jerk moment for him. Anyway .... "I find them, I honor them" no matter when and where the event. And all are verified as VV. This is a great program and I am proud to support it.
