[HIham] FW: USS Missouri Commemoration, Sept 2

[wwarren]

Thanks Ron..

I just got back to Hawaii and have no information
except for your message. 

Do you happen to know where one might park ?
What should we wear?  Particularly the ladies?

I was a Marine grunt in that war. 
Could I sit with other marines?  Or not.

Any information or suggestions would be appreciated..

p.s.
Before the big mo was open to the public I spent some hot manual labor
helping to get it ready for the public.  It was very satisfying.      B-
