June 3, 2009 Army Navy Country Club 1830

 This year marks the 67th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway. On June 4^th 1942, a vastly outnumbered and outgunned
 U.S. Fleet defeated the finest of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the waters off a small Pacific Atoll named Midway. Their
 daring combination of intelligence, tactics, courage and sacrifice forever changed the course of the war and world history.

 In 1999 then Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jay L. Johnson announced that beginning with the 2000 observance,
 June 4 would become as significant as Oct. 13 -- the Navy's birthday. "Twice a year, we will pause as a Navy to reflect
 upon our proud heritage and to build in all hands a renewed awareness of our tradition and history," Johnson said. 

 For the past several years the Battle of Midway has been commemorated in the month of June in Washington DC. This
 year the Battle of Midway Commemoration is being sponsored by a number of Associations and Foundations including
 Association of Naval Aviation, Naval Historical Foundation, Naval Order of the United States, The Navy
 League of the United States, The United States Navy Memorial Foundation, Surface Navy Association,
 and the Tailhook Association.  

 One other event is being planned to commemorate the Battle of Midway.  The  Naval District Washington will host a
 wreath laying ceremony at 1400 on 4 June at the Navy Memorial, located at 701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington
 DC.  Chief of Naval Operation ADM Gary Roughead has issued a NAVADMIN message about the Midway commemorations
 here and around the country.  You can read the message here.
