Hue City Vets invited to tour the USS Hue City

The USS HUE CITY will be coming to New York City, docking at the Staten Island Pier over Veterans Day weekend. Danny Gillen is the Captain of the ship and another Breezy Pointer Lt. Cmdr. Tommy McDonald flies his helicopter off the Hue City.

The ship will be available for tours as listed below: NOVEMBER 10 10:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. NOVEMBER 11 10:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. NOVEMBER 12 10:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.

You are welcome to bring spouses, children & grandchildren & fellow veterans. You must send me the number of people in your group and make sure that all adults have photo ID. You are also welcome to drive yourself over to the Staten Island Pier. Anyone who wants a tour of the ship please RSVP to me with the name of your group e.g. Boy Scout Troop 1234, American Legion Post # 1234, VFW Post # 1234, Friends of VFW Post #1234, the time that you desire & the approximate # of people attending. The sooner I get that info the better but please,

no later than November 6th.

I will do my best on any later requests but I don't want to inconvenience the crew. This will ensure the maximum efficiency of the ship’s crew & afford these fine men & women more time to enjoy" liberty" in NYC. Capt. Gillen has requested that I extend the invitation to as many Vietnam veterans & especially those who fought at Hue City as possible.

If you know of any Hue City veterans, please have them

contact me as the Captain & crew would like to meet them.

If you know of any individuals or veteran organizations whose members were at that battle please inform them as well as notifying me. All adults please have photo ID in your possession. Kevin J. McCann Post Commander VFW Post 8450 718 634 2157 captain947@aol.com
