The Maxine Flournoy/Third Coast Squadron

HALL of FAME

The novelist Herman Wouk wrote..

"The beginning of the end of war, lies in remembrance"

One of the missions of Third Coast Squadron is to proudly carry the Remembrance Banner. The squadron periodically inducts local area veterans into the HALL of FAME to honor them for the sacrifices they have made, so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms we have today. The public is encouraged to offer information to us on possible new inductees.

"LEST WE FORGET"

The museum inducted seven new members into the HALL of FAME on September 19, 2009. Accepting are (from the left) FO Tom Mathis, for Cpt. Cecil Carlisle; his son Tom, for Col. Charles Blanchard; his wife Della, for Sgt. Garrett McLead; his mother Patti, General Marc Cisneros, for Pfc Gilberto Vera; his son Willie, and for Pfc Pablo Valverde; Toy Smith.
