COMMONWEALTH AWARDS $100K: The Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT) recently awarded a $100,000 grant to Battleship Cove for the continuation of the organization's efforts to promote the lessons and legacy of America's veterans.

To be awarded in four $25,000 increments over 12 months, the highly generous and prestigious award is a strong endorsement of the museum and its mission to preserve the Commonwealth's official memorials to all Massachusetts citizens who gave their lives in World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf Wars, and the 9/11/01 Attack on America.

The grant will help to fund the diverse portfolio of educational initiatives delivered by Battleship Cove, including the flagship educational program Nautical Nights, which hosts some 25,000 overnight campers on board the battleship Massachusetts and destroyer Kennedy each year.

Senator Joan Menard and Rep. Robert Correia cosponsored the legislation.
