Battle of Midway Wreath Laying Ceremony

Honor the courage and sacrifice of those who served in the Battle of Midway at a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the United States Navy Memorial. This commemorative event pays tribute to the Sailors, aviators, and leaders whose decisive actions in June 1942 marked a turning point in the Pacific during World War II.

Guests will gather on the Memorial Plaza to reflect on the legacy of service, hear brief remarks, and participate in the time-honored tradition of laying a wreath in remembrance of the fallen.

Join us as we preserve their story, recognize their valor, and ensure that the lessons of Midway continue to inspire future generations of Sea Service members and the nation they serve.
