This letterbox can be found at the Marcellus VFW Post 4054, 53550 M-40. You will know you are in the right place when you see the WWII Destroyer replica with 4054 emblazoned upon its bow.
Park near the pair of one-ton missiles and enter the Walk of Fame, following the sidewalk, reading the names.
Check out the 90mm Scorpion!
Look for the 3 quotes that surround the Middle East War Monument.
Salute at the Navy Circle then pause to admire the Air Force Monument.
Don't get caught up in the beautiful knots!
Forward, past the iconic Iwo Jima depiction to the Korean War Monument and pause for a moment of reverence for the Ghost Patrol.

Continue on the sidewalk...Uh Oh! Take Cover!!!!! Better get outta here!!!

and NEVER FORGET.

Check out the sniper tower as you head toward the Huey. Stop in for a salute to Ralph and imagine being surrounded by this bamboo for hours...days...
Move on to read the Underwater Cemetery poem, then around to the back of the Huey. Reach under the little tree directly behind Ralph to find the letterbox.

You can follow the sidewalk around the Destroyer to get the feel of being on the bow and see how the gunners perched. Maybe a good place for stamping...(?)

This place is open to the public but I did not get permission to place this 'box here so please, be discreet and respectful. I love this place! I love this stamp! I want it to remain active! To Honor All Who Have Served our Armed Forces. "All Gave Some, Some Gave All."

As always, re-seal & re-hide well and let me know what you think!
