That's Awesome! I've been on that LST before. There's also a Submarine in Muskegon, the USS Silversides.
Semper Fi

Little did-you-know, post WWII they sent an LST on exhibit through the heartland, up the Mississippi and into the Great Lakes. They had a Marine detachment aboard and at stops they would simulate beach assaults in front of spectators and then let them on to explore the ship. They even created a jungle scene inside to show crowds what it was like to fight the Japanese.

My Marine uncle was part of this exhibit after his Pacific tour. This LST apparently was the only one to return back to the shipyard where she was built.

In my never ending quest to find a bit more back pain relief, we upgraded my vehicle yesterday. So far, it does help significantly, and is a sharp ride as well. This Lincoln Aviator Black Label is impressive!

Very nice! The funny thing is my wife has had her eye on the Aviator for awhile now but her Cadillac still looks and feels new so......She likes the Genesis model also!!!

I did not try the Genesis, but they look very sharp! I was almost set on a Q7 which was a decent comfort upgrade and still a practical all purpose option. My heart wanted a SQ7. There was a black one locally. Brown’ish interior, red calibers and 500HP of twin turbo V8 joy. The sound was intoxicating!

However, the Aviator was SIGNIFICANTLY better in the comfort department IF one goes with BOTH the Dynamic handling package (still an option even on the Black Label trim) and with the top of the lines seats (30 way adjustable with 5 more different massage functions). That combination really elevated the Aviator. Helping bring it home is it still has 400HP & 415 ft-lb torque, so the Aviator still has some good Zoom for what it is.
