What a great day! There was a SPIRIT like no other and it was carried in the WIND! Now a place has been established to HONOR those who paid the ultimate price.
Thank you for posting this video of Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial, 17JUL10. This day marked the 66th anniversary of the explosion of two ships, the pier and surrounding buildings, along with the death of 320 sailors and merchant mariners. The site was also dedicated as a unit of the National Park Service.
Personnel of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps Arkansas Division participated and are wearing the modified-US Navy Service Dress White Uniform.
