My wife’s from Plattsburgh and family still lives around the Lake Champlain and the Sarnac lake. She has never heard this story she got a great public school education in the town of Plattsburgh NY. Great history lesson.

I am always pleased to hear and read of the victories of our exceptional armed forces, especially the Navy of which I am a veteran.

Our ships are now steel, aluminum and exotic composites instead of oak, but the sailors inside are the pointy end of many of America’s strongest spears.

This was a new one for me, since it wasn’t much covered in my Navy History training, but I will now never forget it and now must go see this place for myself.

Thanks again.

As a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, where I spent many an hour in MacDonough and Preble Halls, I’ve never had a more informative lecture on the history from which they take their name.

Thank you for writing this to remind us of the exceptionalism of our country and our armed forces.

And odd, in a way, to conjure the image of Americans fighting honorable enemies.
