The first exhibit with the launch of USH-Constitution will contain flag officers of all branches of service. Over 60 Generals and Admirals will be represented in this exhibit. The theme of this first cruise of the MM-1776 will be that continued lifelong learning of STEM and History in related fields aids one in rising to the top of their career. Learning never ceases, no matter your chosen profession. Learn about these flag officers and their backgrounds even those with Texas connections. All are patriots.
This program will run for many months. The 2nd program will be on the Army Air Corps of World War II, no date is scheduled for this launch.

For your honorarium on the museum, mobile (MM-1776): Because of size constraints we do have to limit the characters on each plan; We will provide you with how the honorarium will look before we send the material to our printer. The Sons of Liberty Museum reserves the right to only place on the honorarium what we see fit and proper. We can and will assist with what you put on the honorarium. For example, if you do not know the unit served but you know the branch and conflict your honorarium might look like:
Private First Class John Doe
US Army, Infantry, World War II
