Aloha to the Mighty Mo - Gulf War Service


Continuing the tour of the USS Missouri ... above is the gangway that the crew rolled back in BATTLESHIP.

She is mighty proud of her military service!   What do you know about Missouri - the ship, the state, or the river.   One commenter wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers. Comments are open through Saturday, October 27, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, October 28.

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii


Another tribute to her service in the Persian Gulf

  13. I don't know much about Missouri. I did go to a friends wedding there years ago. We went to Branson and went to a cool amusement park and visited some caves!
