USS America (CVA-66) 1968 Cruise Sweatshirt - FAMILY

The year 1968 tested every American family with a loved one in Southeast Asia. The Tet Offensive dominated the headlines in January, the siege of Khe Sanh stretched for weeks, and the war seemed to reach into every American home. Through it all, the crew of USS America (CVA-66) kept flying missions from the Gulf of Tonkin—and you kept the home fires burning. The families of the 1968 cruise carried something heavy: months of uncertainty during one of the most turbulent years in American history. The strength it took to wait, to hope, and to welcome him home is part of his service, and part of this ship's story.
