Memorabilia From 2001 Weekend on Aircraft Carrier USS Carl Vinson

The "arrest landing" (catching on to steel cables) and harrowing, catapult take off from the Carl Vinson Aircraft Carrier was two of the most thrilling moments of our lives. As guests of the Navy in San Diego, California we are sharing one of two sets of our momentos with you. The picture portfolio is not a retail item. Carl Vinson was known as "The Father of the Two-Ocean Navy". He was also a U.S. House Representative from the state of Georgia. The medal/coin item alone lists for about $25 on the secondary market.
