 Naval District Washington commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the Battle of Midway with a ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial June 4th. The victory of Midway teaches us many lessons, preparation, decisive action, the power of intelligence, trust in commanders, and of course the necessity of good fortune. We honor those who took the risk to launch the attack, those who fought on despite the odds from their ships in the island of Midway, those who flew on when their gauges were low, those who attacked without regard for their own personal safety and knowing they would not likely survive, those who risked their lives to save their shipmates and those who never came home. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris.
