A Sailor salutes a memorial wreath as a sign of remembrance

A Sailor salutes a memorial wreath as a sign of remembrance and gratitude to those who gave their life in the Battle of Midway during a ceremony at the Ferry Landing on June 5. Joint Task Force Guantanamo Commander Rear Adm. John C. Ring was the guest speaker at the Battle of Midway ceremony, commemorating the major turning point in the Pacific. The Battle of Midway took place June 4-7, 1942, on a small island in the Pacific, just off the Hawaiian archipelago. Winning the decisive naval battle, the U.S. was able to derail the Japanese Empire’s offensive maneuvers in the Pacific and take control of the Pacific Theater. (National Guard photo by Sgt.
