Although never called into duty, the SS  United States was always at the ready to serve her country in the event of war. Designed for quick transformation from luxury liner to troop carrier, the SS  United States could transport 15,000 troops 10,000 miles without refueling!

This past Veteran's Day, our New York Chapter marched in "America's Parade" in New York City - we could not have been more proud. New York Chapter members who escorted the Big U's mighty funnels down 5th Avenue included  Ely, Michael, William, Ralph, Cassie, Janette, Donald, Jaye, Carl, Glenn, Susan (and friend),  Delia, Paul and  Freddie.  The Conservancy also thanks board member  Dan McSweeney, United War Veterans Council President, for providing us with this opportunity. Check out the photos below of our wonderful supporters who went above and beyond!

To our nation's veterans and active-duty soldiers - we salute you!
