            The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Navy and the National Park Service commemorated the historic event and honored the veterans of the battle in special ceremony that took place on both Midway Atoll and World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. The American victory at Midway was the turning point of the war in the Pacific, and is considered one of the most important naval battles in U.S. history.

The early morning ceremony at World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument honored the many veterans whose determination and sacrifice led to the U.S. and allied forces winning the war in the Pacific. 

The ceremony featured remarks from Rear Admiral Andrew Singer (U.S. Navy, retired), Deputy Director for Intelligence, U.S. Pacific Command, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Regional Director Robyn Thorson, and World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument Superintendent Jacqueline Ashwell.
