My great grandmother’s second husband was a Fireman 1st Class aboard the USS Boston at the battle of Manila Bay in 1898. The VFW still puts a flag on his grave every Memorial Day. I used to have his metal coffee cup from the ship but donated it to a Veteran’s museum - my mother kept her clothespins in it for 50 years.

If you found a place that would display it, you did the right thing. More people will see it there.
