Enterprise CVN-65 Ship Building | Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5181

VFW Team Project Invitation

 “...the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” ~ FDR

 

With Memorial Day Weekend upon us here's an invitation to the building of a replica of the Yorktown Class USS Enterprise (CVN-65) decommissioned in 2012.  This ship entered the water in 1936.  Replica task originally undertaken as recreational outlet from arduous recruiting environment in 2022.  This was and remains to be a fun constructive activity to take a break from the daily routine and strains of 24/7 | 365 institutionalized posture. 🫡 

Transition from active duty to the fleet reserves caused temporary delay in the ship building project.  

Here it is!

At this stage of the build, we're ready to mount the vessel name and install the rudder, running gear and stern tube.

Before further action I hereby attempt commitment to dedicate this project to the local members of the VFW Post 5181 in Dove Creek, Colorado.

May the journey of this build be filled with new friendly bonds of fellowship and chronicles that promote honor and comradery inside & outside the halls of VFW Post 5181.

He introduced the New Deal; a series of government programs aimed at economic recovery.  (FDR inaugurated | March 4, 1933 | HISTORY)

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. — 1 John 4:18 KJV
