Roll of Honor display on the Yorktown

[Howard Jacobs ROH]

Patriots Point has a page on Facebook and they post pictures and such of the compound and some of the Yorktown.  Every time they do... I ask about the Roll of Honor display and when it will be back up for viewing. I did get an answer once... they said that a decision or completion.. not sure which.. but it would be known in a couple weeks.  Well.... that was months ago.. I think I even made a post here when it happened.  Since that reply I haven't gotten another... I'm going to keep posting on their site every time they post something.  I hope I'm that pesky little bug that keeps buzzing their head. I'm sure the list of inductee's is getting longer.

not a bad idea --- lets brainstorm a bit --- I wonder if we can get the emails of all of the board members, the mayor, and for that matter, since the SC Governor is involved and appoints board members in a couple slots as I remember, he should be on that list too -----   a blizzard of emails --- hmmm Charleston Newpsaper might like it too ......

Good idea Mike!

This is what I posted JANUARY 2, 2016.......

Every time the Yorktown site post something about what's going on I ALWAYS ask about the Enlisted Combat Air Crew Roll of Honor display... can't remember ever getting a reply until today.  On their latest post I asked the question about the display.... here is their answer....


Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum Will have to check when we are back in the office on Monday. Our graphic designer had it in his office about a week ago finishing it up!


Just thought I would pass this on... hopefully there will finally be something completed and on display.



January 4 was Monday..... they should fire that graphic designer... it's almost 2 months now that he's been finishing it up.

I'm going to Charleston in a couple of weeks so I'll try to find someone to go face to face with. The time before last when I was there I was told that they were  digitizing the roll of honor to make it an interactive display.

Terry.. in case you missed my other post after this one....

Mr. Jacobs, as I am sure you can understand, our small museum services staff is tasked with quite a few jobs on a daily basis. As we have previously shared, the panels are complete, but they need to construct a display stand on which to affix them. It will be a triangular shape. It is on the project list and barring any unforeseen and urgent other projects that may come about, it should be completed this month. We will be sure to share it on social media as soon as it is finished. Thank you for your continued interest in our museum!

Terry, they have nothing to digitize ---- the ROH Board has all the information ----- they have been lying now for at least 4 years
