To the Editor:

We are the proud home of the Quonset Air Museum. Over the years, there has been a lot of work done there to restore the planes and display them so that people of all ages can go there and enjoy them. Many people have gone there to enjoy seeing these planes and also other artifacts that are housed there. The planes are not only beautiful to look at, but a reminder of the many battles fought and those veterans who have lost their lives for the freedom we hold today.

During this past winter, the roof was damaged by the snow. Now, the state wants to move them out so the building an be completely removed. I think we need to repair the building, so it will remain for many years to come to be the heart of events such as the annual air show and also the heart of what Quonset is.

We all know Quonset was a big part of Rhode Island up until 1973, when the Naval Air Station closed. Many others and I worked on that base for many yea4rs and know the rich history that the museum holds. Let’s give our visitors the chance to visit our air museum and other tourist attractions around Rhode Island and keep the museum open!
