I have two friends that I’ve known for 52 years and we have maintained a great friendship by getting together a few times a year. Most recently, we got together at the Battleship Iowa and had a blast!!! The tour was limited to the outside portion of the Battleship due to COVID restrictions. It was still fun and we were able to explore every one of the decks! Special thanks to all of the Sunday crew aboard the battleship. They were friendly and informative. We had the pleasure of talking with one of the staff at length. Pauli walked with us through the Battleship and shared some of his personal experiences with us. He served in the United States Navy and had been stationed aboard the Iowa. We found his stories fascinating! I would highly recommend touring the Iowa, she was an amazing Battleship! God Bless America and our Military!!!…

Lots of history, that was enhanced by the WWII veterans who told their stories and explained what life was like onboard.
