Please accept this personal invitation to our Light Off Crew Appreciation Celebration on October 20 from 3 to 6 pm aboard the SS Red Oak Victory. Dinner will be served as well as premium wine and beer, and refreshments.
We would like to thank everyone that helped this past July and August with the SS Red Oak Victory's light off. You allowed us to accomplish our mission and this celebration aboard the ROV is our heartfelt thank you from the entire organization to everyone that made this historic lighting off of the first US WW II warship to do so in the last 40 years possible.
Between the tireless volunteers, some of which have worked on this ship for over 20 years and who have been waiting to see this day, the many folks that donated time and money in the past and the present to make this event a reality, and the larger community that's been supporting the ship, there are many to whom we are extending our sincere gratitude.
Onward to a great future for the SS Red Oak Victory so that in the year 2118, American school children can still learn about her history and all that she stands for.
Arrive curious, leave in awe!
