Join Patriots Point in commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is hosting a symposium that will feature two guest speakers, one who was on board the USS LAFFEY the day of the attack, and an Army Ranger who landed on Omaha Beach.
The admission is free.
The symposium will start at 7:00pm inside the USS YORKTOWN’s Smokey Stover Theater. Parking for the event will cost $5.
The USS LAFFEY, docked at Patriots Point, is one of only two D-Day warships still in existence. There were more than 5,000 floating off the shore of German-occupied France the day of the attack.
The symposium will feature live entertainment and a living history production on the D-Day invasion and the breakout from Omaha Beach.
