Summary
"These are some of the stories of freedom, Patriots Point Volunteers dedicating their time and energy to supporting this museum. They ensure that the vital legacy of USS Laffey, USS Yorktown and the Vietnam War Experience are embedded in the memories, and hearts of our visitors to this great Maritime and Naval Museum at Patriots Point, in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina. Not only does this book describe this unique museum; but, for the first time, we go behind the scenes for some very interesting stories from several of our dedicated Volunteers, patriotic Americans all, as they light the path for our visitors to 'Walk in the Footsteps of Heroes.'"--Page [4] of cover
