“I’ve been to many reunions and each time, I am awed, I am inspired, and I am proud,” he said. “Every memory we have [from this ship] has a good and a bad side. But I have only thanks to give for my time in the Navy and on Intrepid.”
Additionally, Museum co-chairmen Ken Fisher and Bruce Mosler thanked the many veterans who were in attendance and spoke of the Intrepid Museum’s mission to honor our heroes, educate the public, and inspire our youth.
There were performances from the USO Show Troupe and Winston and Ruth Goodloe, and the ceremony concluded with the laying of the Memorial Wreath and the Ceremonial Cake Cutting. A reception followed for the 300 Former Crew Members and their guests.

USS INTREPID 1945
On December 1, 1941—just six days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II—the keel for USS Intrepid was laid and its construction began. Intrepid served in the U.S. Navy for over three decades and played a role in World War II, the Cold War, the Space Race and the Vietnam War. After this storied career, Intrepid was decommissioned in 1974 and later opened as a museum, where the history of the ship and its crew inspires visitors from all over the world. Winston S. Goodloe and wife Ruth sang God Bless America at many reunions over the years.
