After the dedication ceromony , all those in attendance were invited aboard the USS ANZIO CG 68 by Captain Perry Bingham, Commanding Officer, to enjoy a fine buffet luncheon and also a tour of this ship and an opportuiinty to mingle with and meet with the wonderful men and women now serving our country today.
