Preble Hall

Service, Citizenship, & Starship Troopers

Episode Summary

Science fiction author Robert Heinlein, whose major works included the book "Starship Troopers," was a 1929 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. In 2017, Marine and Congressman Mike Gallagher gave a talk at the museum's first NavyCon on this book and the real meaning of citizenship. We offer it up for this Independence Weekend.
