his is your opportunity to get a Tidewater hat. We are contracting with our vendor and are giving Tidewater Sailors an opportunity to let us know if they would like to be included in the order before we actually place it. BRANSON 2008 hats will be available for purchase at the reunion in September, 2006, and are not included in the cost per person of attending the reunion. You can order your Tidewater hat with or without the commemorative BRANSON 2008 embroidery on it. If you'd like to order Tide Hat (THE HAT #1) without the commemorative embroidery on the back, we have them in stock and will ship as soon as we get your order. Just click here .

If you want a BRANSON 2008 HAT, place your order below. You can pay for it at the reunion in September. We need to know beforehand if you want a hat with embroidery as it will be a first come, first served basis, depending on how many we order with this optional decoration..

Here are the details - as we said, there are two versions of the hat that you can pick:

1. THE HAT # 1 - click on photo for enlargement. This hat has the ship's logo and USS Tidewater AD31 on the front of the hat. That back of the hat is without the year and the commemorative embroidery. Click here to order THE HAT #1.

2. THE HAT #2 with commemorative embroidery on the back says BRANSON 2008. The hat that is shown here is from our 2004 Reunion in Charleston. These CHARLESTON 2004 hats are all gone and no longer available at our Ship's Store. THE HAT #2 with commemorative embroidery will include the ship's silhouette on the front of the hat as is in the top photo, but will also have the commemorative BRANSON 2008 displayed on the back of the hat. The hats will be available at the reunion for all pre-orders. Fill out questionnaire below to pre-order THE HAT #2.

DEADLINE TO LET US KNOW IS AUGUST 1, 2008.
