Thanks to good friend, Ron Plunkett, for sending this in. He volunteers more hours than any three people I know.

This story was first shown on CBS News in April 2015. It concerns two young twin brothers from North Carolina who found a connection to US Navy Veteran, Robert Harding. In WWII he served aboard the carrier USS Yorktown, now a museum ship at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC Charleston Harbor.

It is no secret that every museum needs to reach the younger generations. That is never more true when it comes to military museums, whether they be on land or in the water to tell the stories of the men and women who went before so the younger generations can have the freedoms we all enjoy every day. It will be up to the younger generations to continue to learn from, fund and support these museums and build new ones, like the National Medal of Honor Museum to be built at Patriots Point.

Patriots Point Foundation is a 501C3 all volunteer organization that raises funds to support Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum (carrier Yorktown, Destroyer Laffey, Sub Clamagore) as well as the new National Medal of Honor Museum to be built at Patriots Point.
