The USS Kearsarge is one of 3 Amphibious Assault Ships and embarks, deploys, lands and supports Marine Landing Forces.
Every year since the late 1990's, Mark and I spend Memorial Day holidays touring the big military ships that sail into Manhattan. The ships become open to the curious public and we always have a lot of fun playing with the munitions that would not even fit in my closet or weighs just as heavy as my balikbayan box. We explore and poke around the assault ships and aircraft carriers that happen to be there. This is our tax dollars at work. We see sailors, soldiers, marines, pilots, military police, practically everyone that is assigned to the ship. We are proud of them just as they are happy to be around us.
