"I was here 20 years ago and it was one of the reasons I became a sailor. Now that I have a family I had to bring them."
"I’m in the Navy, and being able to see the ship, its artifacts, and learn about its sailors is amazing. It’s a piece of living history and I love it."
"The Museum is great! I have visited several Navy museums in the past, but this is the first one to make me feel a part of something larger than myself."
"I visited here when I was 10 or 12 and it was a big part of why I joined the Navy."
“I think this is the first time that my son really understands what my job in the Navy is about and why it is worth it. Thank you.”
Programs for the military community at the USS Constitution Museum are a part of the Salute to Service Initiative, made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
