Taunton veterans visit museum, rekindling memories and rivalries

A trip to the battleship cove museum in Fall River stirred up memories, and old rivalries, for a group of Taunton veterans.

 

Taunton Director of Veterans Services Ally Rodriguez, who organized the trip, said that the initiative was "just a very small attempt at getting a handful of veterans to see things and hang out with veterans." She added that she hoped to organize a similar trip in the future to either the Seabee Museum in Rhode Island or the The American Heritage Museum in Massachusetts.

 

"We had I think two Navy guys, and they were like, 'Oh this brings back memories,' but they weren’t on a ship quite as big as the Massachusetts," Rodriguez added. "They had a great time. It was really nice to see them smiling and poking fun at each other. Army was making fun of Navy, and Navy was making fun of Marines."
