 USS John C. Stennis commemorated the 74th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, June 4th, with a wreath-laying ceremony. John C. Stennis sailors gathered in the hangar bay to release the wreath into the South China Sea. The ceremony included a 21-gun salute and a historical narrative given by John C. Stennis' executive officer, Captain Kavan Hakimzadeh. I think the most important thing that junior sailors can learn from the study of the Battle of Midway is perseverance against long odds. These were people at the same age as we were doing the same jobs we were doing, except they were facing some much longer odds than we are. John C. Stennis also commemorated the Battle of Midway throughout the day with a cake-cutting ceremony. One MC announcements were counting the battle and an art exhibit. Reporting from USS John C. Stennis, I'm Seaman Zach Wolfe.
