From the Feb. 23, 2013 ABC 13, Houston, Texas.
Volunteers are cleaning a World War II ship in Galveston that was damaged by vandals.
Four men are facing charges for damage to the USS Stewart at Seawolf Park in Galveston last month. Among the damage done was the discharge of fire extinguishers.
Once word of the damage got around, there were a lot of volunteers for cleanup.
The Stewart was a destroyer escort commissioned in 1942 and served in the North Atlantic and Pacific and also survived damage from 2008's Hurricane Ike.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
