51st Commemoration Ceremony: USS Midway Museum to Honor Vietnam War Veterans
FRIDAY, MARCH 29TH, 2024
On March 29, in commemoration of the 51st anniversary of when the last U.S. troops left Vietnam and the final group of American prisoners of war (POWs) were freed and left Hanoi, the USS Midway Museum will pay tribute to all U.S. military veterans who served during the Vietnam War.
Date: Friday, March 29, 2024
Time: 9:00am
Location: USS Midway Museum Flight Deck
Free and open to the public **
The ceremony’s guest speaker is retired Navy Cmdr. Curt Dosé. A Navy pilot with nearly 200 combat missions over North Vietnam, Curt will not only describe his harrowing experience during that war but also his return to Vietnam more than 40 years later. It is a powerful story larger than the war itself and speaks to the healing that can takes place over decades. A special wreath-laying and missing-man flyover will also highlight the ceremony.
