There are a number of King shipmates who also served aboard Adams Class Destroyers.
The Adams Class Veterans Association
is trying to get the USS Charles F. Adams (DDG-2) restored as a museum. NAVSEA has the Adams on Museum Donation Hold, but they won't keep it there forever. They need your help to spread the word and keep the Adams from the scrap yard.

This link to Azalea Charities For Wounded Soldiers is provided for your convenience.
The Azalea Charities Aid to Wounded Soldiers project provides comfort and relief items for soldiers and Marines sick, injured or wounded from service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Donated items are distributed to soldiers and Marines at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center Bethesda each week. Many of the soldiers and Marines are grievously wounded and will require long hospitalization and rehabilitation. The purpose of the program is to enhance the morale and welfare of the wounded by contributing quality of life items. |

The Wounded Warrior Project

22
Jun 2006:
Hello all...This request is on behalf of the men, women, and
children
of Afghanistan. The Afghan people are making great
strides in developing
their wonderful country after years of war
and chaos. The military is
doing all it can to keep the peace,
ensure security, and advance the
society. Unfortunately, books
(of all kinds) is not something that is
funded in great supply to
help educate the studious people of Afghanistan.
They have a
great thirst for knowledge and hundreds of them are learning
English every day. So...if you have some old books lying around
the house,
office, etc., or if you would like to purchase new books,
or even fund
new books, please do not hesitate to send them to
my address. I will
ensure that these books are delivered to the
needy people of Afghanistan
and I will send you a signed thank
you for your support to Operation
ENDURING FREEDOM.
Thank
you sincerely...
Major
Patrick B. Monahan

my heart. Their culture, positive attitudes, and forward
momentum are my inspiration on this initiative
