The Amphibious Forces Museum continues it's restoration efforts of LCI 713. Visit the website at http://www.amphibiousforces.org to check on ongoing efforts to save the 713.The Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum is located in Portland, Oregon and is dedicated to remembering the great contributions made by U.S. Navy personnel of WWII that sailed into harms way aboard LCIs as well as the many Marines and Soldiers that they carried into battle. These little ships and the men that bravely served aboard them sailed, under armed, under powered and under armored into the greatest battles of WWII from Sicily to Normandy, from Iwo Jima to the assault on Okinawa, while transporting men and material and providing fire support under the worst conditions.This group is dedicated to preserving the memory and the history paying tribute to a group of heroes, those living and those forever at rest, who proudly served their country and asked for nothing more than to return home to enjoy the very freedoms that they so willingly sacrificed for.I ask that you please help this effort and spread the word to every Navy Vet that you know as well as to every VFW post that you can that we need your help to succeed.To contribute to this effort please go to the Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum website and click on the "donations" link.10-30-2008 UPDATE: NEW AT THE AFMM SHIP'S STORETHE 2009 LCI CALENDAR IS IN.
