Wow, the response to our post about nametags has been tremendous! We should have added that if you already have a nametag to add to the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum, mail it to the Plattsburgh AFB Museum, 31 Washington Rd, Plattsburgh, NY 12903. We'll post additional instructions on how to order them if you need to a bit later this week.
