The USS Slater (DE 766) in Albany, NY fires a three-round salute from its aft 3" gun, followed by a rendition of 'Taps'. The event is the annual commemoraton of D-E Day. Along with short speeches from several local politicians, naval reserve officers and the ship's Superintendent, Tim Rizzuto, there was a reading of the names of all the DE3" 's lost in the war, along with the number of casualties of each.
