Back Cover INteractivities Message from the Executive Director Dear Member, With the winter behind us, Intrepid has wrapped up another season of fantastic events. Our annual Kids Week was a big hit with kids of all ages, and I hope you all enjoyed our Kids Week Member event. Intrepid was honored to welcome home the Legends of Aerospace Tour on March 13 with such aviation pioneers as Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon; SR-71 Chief Test Pilot Bob Gilliland; and the last Air Force Pilot Ace Steve Ritchie. I hope you were able to attend this memorable event. April 1 brought the Chol Hamoed Family Festival, with a special musical performance by Sruly Williger and record crowds. April also saw Scout Days and Earth Weekend, which were attended by many. There is always something new at Intrepid, including the new temporary exhibit “27 Seconds,” which opens in June, focusing on the heroism of those who perished in the tragedy of the first Apollo space mission, and the lessons learned from the experience. Having recently completed construction, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is poised to open the doors of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) on the Navy Campus at Bethesda, Maryland. The advanced facility is dedicated to research, diagnosis and treatment of military personnel and veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health. The center will provide much needed care to our service men and women, a critical part of the mission of the Museum and the Intrepid family of foundations. In May, Intrepid will once again proudly serve as host of New York’s annual Fleet Week festivities. Fleet Week 2010 begins Wednesday, May 26 and runs through Tuesday, June 1. Fleet Week will feature the ever popular Tug of War and our annual Memorial Day ceremony. Please check our web site for details on a Fleet Week filled with activities. We do hope you’ll join us. As you have probably seen in the press, the campaign to bring a space shuttle to New York City is hotter than ever, and we continue to need your support. Don’t forget to sign our petition to bring a shuttle here to New York and the Intrepid Museum at www.shuttle2nyc.com Each new event brings more visitors to the Museum and with them, more Museum members.

  • Tulich Official History of USCG in Vietnam
    U.S. Coast Guard History Program The United States Coast Guard in South East Asia During the Vietnam Conflict by Eugene N. Tulich, USCG FOREWORD In brief, the Coast Guard Historical Monograph Program, of which this publication is the first product, is simply the publishing of worthy historical works by Coast Guardsmen in the field of Coast Guard history. All that is essential for this experimental program’s continued success is the willingness of enough Coast Guardsmen to undertake the task of researching and writing a concise narrative of specific segments in the vast treasure trove of little-known Coast Guard history. The idea for this program was conceived by Captain B. L. Meaux, U. S. Coast Guard, Chief, Public Affairs Division, Coast Guard Headquarters, in mid-1973. Primarily, his rationale for initiating this program was: (1) to insure the preservation of as much Coast Guard history as possible in order that no important phase of it may be lost; (2) to stimulate interest in Coast Guard history among Coast Guardsmen, the academic community, and the general public, (3) to attempt to convince many individual Coast Guardsmen that the preservation of Coast Guard history in a narrative form is primarily their responsibility, since no one else can tackle this job with the same sense of identity, interest, or knowledge of the subject; (4) to record the brave deeds and honorable service of past Coast Guardsmen so that they can be compared to current and future performances; and (5) to use history as a means of fostering esprit de corps, as well as building and maintaining Coast Guard traditions.

  • USCGC CAMPBELL (WMEC 909) Kittery, Maine
    USCGC CAMPBELL (WMEC 909) Kittery, Maine USCGC CAMPBELL (WMEC-909), commissioned on August 19, 1988, is the sixth cutter to bear the name CAMPBELL. Four were named for George Washington Campbell, Secretary of the Treasury in 1814. One was named for James Campbell, Postmaster General in 1863. The current CAMPBELL, the ninth of the Coast Guard Famous Class of cutters, is named to honor the great tradition of her forebears, particularly USCGC CAMPBELL (W-32). The first CAMPBELL, a schooner, patrolled the Chesapeake Bay from 1830 through 1834. The second CAMPBELL saw service in the Gulf of Mexico from 1834-1839. The third CAMPBELL, built in 1848, was considered the finest example of the sailing cutter; sleek and trim in appearance, she was deemed “Queen of Sailing Cutters.” The fourth CAMPBELL patrolled New England waters from 1853-1875. The fifth CAMPBELL, W-32, was built in the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1936. She served for forty-six years spanning World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and saw exclusive action as convey escort during the Battle of the Atlantic during 1942-1943. Of note, W-32 engaged several enemy submarines and rammed and sank U-606 in February, 1943. Sailing on her in battle was “Sinbad,” the Coast Guard’s famous mascot that served 11 years with CAMPBELL until his retirement in 1951. W- 32 was “Queen of the Fleet” when decommissioned in 1982. The sixth and current CAMPBELL (WMEC 909) continues the historic tradition of more than 190 years of cutters that have displayed her name. CAMPBELL was originally homeported in New Bedford, MA in 1988.
