| The USS Franklin Museum Association is in honor
of the sailors and Marines that have stood the watch,
defending the American way. We of the Franklin,
unfortunately, no longer have our ship, only memories. All
of the ship's company, air groups and staff are eligible for
membership, including family members.
The
Association currently holds a reunion, every year for its
members. The Association was founded by Robert St. Peters of
Alton, IL., served on the Franklin in E-Division.
As
a member of the Franklin Museum Association, you will be eligible
not only to attend reunions, but also to receive the Association newsletter,
which is published quarterly, and a Membership Card. Our
dues, the largest part of which goes into the publishing and
mailing of our newsletter, are $10.00 per year.
Currently
the Association maintains exhibits on the USS Yorktown Museum at
Patriot's Point, SC, on the USS Hornet Museum at Alameda, CA, and
in the process of developing an exhibit on the USS Midway in San
Diego, CA.
We
are looking for all the Sailors and Marines that served on the USS
Franklin (1943 - 1946), and their families, to become members of
our association. Come join our ranks and share in the
association that only shipmates that were there, can!
