MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Remember, this web site, the Shipmate Directory and the the Newsletters are not possible without your financial support.

For Any New members:

For all new paid memberships, we will send you, postage paid, a new
Hugh Purvis DD709” baseball cap (click the hat). This is a high-quality 100% cotton hat made by Lands' End, custom designed and embroidered.  USS HUGH PURVIS D709 on the front, Haze Gray and Underway on the back. Sign up a friend now while supplies last!!! Contact one of your old ship-mates and tell him what a great time we have at the reunions and how much we would love to see him become an active member. One little phone call or letter could make all the difference in convincing one more old Swabbies to join our ranks. St. Louis promises to be a great time and we would love to see lots of new faces there as well as all of you regular attendees. Use the Membership Information link above for more.
