 The museum at the United States Naval Academy builds and maintains over 200 ship models. The models are lent out to naval museums across the country to help educate the public about the importance of each vessel and the Navy's mission. Yeah, we certainly hope that they'll look back into the historical aspect of these models and say, hey, this was, you know, John Paul Jones' ship, whether it was the bone home of Richard Hart or whether, you know, Oliver Hazard Perry during the war of 1812 looking at the Niagara and go back and look and see what these guys actually accomplished, these famous naval leaders. And hopefully it is an inspiration to them to say, hey, you know, they can go back and look at that history and say, hey, yeah, boy, I want to emulate this type of leadership. Volunteers give their time at the Academy twice a week to work on these crafts, preserving naval history for future generations. If it's not too worn out an expression, I was not on the service myself. This is my way of giving back and saying thanks and using the God-given talents that I have in order to show young sailors and the public that see these projects work well. Our past has been. Museum staff said the volunteers play an important role at the museum and are very dedicated to preserving and building the models. We actually, I've got a great group of volunteers here. They're here every Thursday and every Saturday, so I have them for eight days a month. And I have a total of anywhere from 15 to about 20 here at a time on Thursday evenings and also on Saturday mornings. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
