Yorktown

D-rod and I took a trip with the cub scouts to tour and visit Patriots Point which is home to the USS Yorktown and also Fort Sumter.

We had a great time exploring and learning about the history.  I really hope D-rod learned how important these things are/were.  There were some teenage groups that were here as well and I could tell that some of them could care less. 

Some of the highlights were exploring the submarine, walking on the flight deck and seeing jet fighters like the famous F-14Tomcat, and watching Dylan have fun with his buddies on the ship.  However, I have had my fill of young lads this weekend...the Kindergarten Cop in me is about to come out!

I will leave you with this quote from Abraham Lincoln that I saw in Medal of Honor Museum.  "Any nation that does not honor its heroes does not long endure."  I hope our young people will take this to heart.
