Sometimes we still stumble across pieces of history while working! Some crew members found a Greek sailor's wallet, including an ID card, during a Work Week on ship. The owner made contact online and the wallet is currently on its way back home. Click the buttons below to see the local news talking about it!


We're very appreciative of any and all support, especially from our local businesses!

The USS LST-325 Ship Memorial, Inc. received a generous donation as a part of

Alcoa's ACTION (Alcoans Coming Together in Our Neighborhoods) Grant program. Thank you, Alcoa!


We were honored to have Gold Crew Member Don Molzahn and multiple generations of his family on board while the ship was docked in La Crosse, WI during our annual Cruise!
