                                                September 18, 2009
All Adams Class Veterans and Supporters:

The Adams Class Veterans Association, Inc. and the Jacksonville Historic Naval
Ship Association, Inc., invite you to be part of a special event commemorating the
service of the Adams Class Commanding Officers and DDG Veterans during the
Week of Valor celebration in Jacksonville, Florida. This will take place between
November 4-11, 2009. Please accept my apologies for not addressing this to each
of you individually, but time is short and we need to move quickly to make this
memorable opportunity possible.

The week begins with a Thursday, November 5th Reception as our Adams Class
Veterans arrive. The highlight of our celebration will be a Friday night November
6th, at a Reception and Dinner, at the Omni Jacksonville Hotel, honoring all Adams
Class DDG Commanding Officers and DDG Veterans who served on these ships
over thirty years of naval service.  Memories of the 23 USA DDG ships and DDG
ships in Australia and Germany and veterans who served in the Cold War, Vietnam,
and crises all over the globe will be shared at this special event. This event will be
attended by many flag officers who commanded these ships that revolutionized
surface warfare with modern technology. There will be a major focus on fund
raising to support the Adams Class Naval Ship Museum. The Omni Jacksonville
Hotel is providing rooms for our guests at a special rate of $79.00 a night, single
or double occupancy, if reserved before October 22nd. 

Anyone having memorabilia from your Adams Class service including cruise
books, photos of ships in action, videos and other special historic items and
would be interested in sharing them for display during this event, and/or at the
Jacksonville Landing JHNSA display, please contact our Jacksonville ACVA
Director and local coordinator to arrange to send or bring items.

Hi Horace:

Can't go.  Would love to, but am deeply wrapped up in several personal matters.  My younger son is home on leave from Afghanistan wars before returning.  I know military is last thing he will be concerned about.  Especially Navy.  He is Army Airborne.  Had his 2nd IED experience day before yesterday.
