The Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park is the largest inland Naval Park in the country. Located on Buffalo’s Waterfront, this unique family destination features four decommissioned Naval vessels that served in a variety of military conflicts in our nation’s history. We talk to John Branning, Superintendent of Ships, and Navy veteran about the Park, the Ships, and the needs. One unique vessel is the USS The Sullivans which is named for the 5 brothers from Iowa who perished on the same ship in WWII. John tells host Jim Fausone about the challenges of keeping this old naval history alive after so many years.
