Title: USS Edson
Post by: marshall on December 13, 2014, 10:16:32 PM
Has been converted to a museum and is in bay city. Took the kids to check it out today, good time. $10 for adults, kids under 6 are free. They let you walk around on your own, but I suggest the guided tour. Our guide was a 75 year old veteran volunteer, and was very knowledgeable. Even my 12 year old daughter had fun, which is...rare. Takes about 90 mins to see it all, but they close for the winter on December 30. Side note...they wore out 3 gun barrels during Vietnam, firing over 27,000 rounds... ++peace
