The DDG-5 Crew Members Association has authorized the commissioning of a DDG-5 Commemoration Plaque (http://thebignickel.org/plaque.html) to be dedicated during the 2014 Reunion in Washington, D.C. The dedication will take place at the United States Navy Memorial (http://www.navymemorial.org/events/exhibits/commemorative-plaque-wall) on Sunday, July 27, 2014. You may have received email from our Executive Directory, Carl Slack, with a donation form attached. Unfortunately, that form was an early version and, although it will work, there is an updated form located on the [url+http://thebignickel.org/plaque.html]DDG-5 Commemoration Plaque[/url] page.
United States shipmates are requested to fill out the form, print it, sign it and return it to the address on the form. The PayPal submittal portion is intended primarily for our non-US Mixed Manning Shipmates who may not have access to the credit cards accepted by the US Navy Memorial.
If you can, please make a donation towards our commemorative plaque.
Thanks,
Your DDG-5 Executive Council (http://thebignickel.org/AssociationOfficers.html)
