USS Midway Museum

To commemorate the 83rd anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks, which launched the United States into World War II, the USS Midway Museum will Saturday host a ceremony on its flight deck with a two-bell ceremony, wreath laying and missing-man flyover.

The USS Midway Museum and the Port of San Diego will break ground Thursday on Freedom Park at Navy Pier, a project proponents say will be the largest veterans park on the West Coast.

The USS Midway Museum will deck out the carrier from bow to stern Friday with hundreds of thousands of twinkling and shimmering lights to celebrate this year’s holidays with “Jingle Jets,” a festive lighting experience.
