Great job on the video, Mike! The videography, narration and background music all work perfectly. I love that the ship was named for a labor leader and that it served as a school for awhile.

Happy Labor Day!

Thanks Joan. These ships as a group were vital to our success over the Nazi's and Imperial Japan. The Brown as a surviving representative is a real national treasure. These cargo ships and troop transports are not nearly as sexy as the warships...but you can't accomplish the mission without them. They are like the stage crew for the play or rock concert. No show without them. Happy Labor Day.

Thank you. You provided me with a fitting start to this Labor Day weekend. At age six back then, I only have fleeting memories of WW2 but they are there and vividly etched.
