MCM Crew Reaper Present ReaperAle with Flag Trophy Display |
ReaperAle was contacted by the Commanding Officer of the USS DEVASTATOR notifying us of the existence of not only the ship, but one of her rotational crews designated as CREW REAPER. Too cool - who knew?
ReaperAle sent a care package to the ship including a customized tap handle and a ReaperAle Flag. In turn, MCM Crew Reaper sent ReaperAle this awesome display showcasing an American flag that was flown over the ship on April 28, 2006. Mounted on the front are the ship's coins - The Grim Reaper on one side and the USS DEVASTATOR on the other. The engraved plaque reads:
REAPER ALE
