In October, 2016, I had the honor of accompanying a group of Vietnam-era Navy veterans, the VAPPERS, on a trip to Mount Vernon. They hailed from all parts of the country and the trip to Mount Vernon was part of their annual reunion. My father, pictured in the photo frame, who was a member of the VAPPERS, passed away in 2014, and I was invited to join their group in his memory. Everyone enjoyed the history associated with Mount Vernon, as well as the awesome views. Patty Greene, 2016
