If you have THC historical markers in your community that need refinishing, it’s a relatively simple and inexpensive process that doesn’t require a lot of special tools or training. It’s a good weekend service project, and one that you can involve young people in, as well. And it works, too:

Membership in the Texas Navy Association is open to all persons age 16 and over who have an interest in Texas history and want to help support the goals of the organization.
