VJ Day

This September 2, commemorate the anniversary of Victory over Japan Day aboard the USS Yorktown. Explore our brand-new exhibit, Homeward Bound, featuring memories, photographs, historical footage, and artifacts that capture the emotions of a world stepping into peace after World War II.

At 3:00 p.m., join us in the Smokey Stover Theater for a live viewing of the USS Missouri’s commemorative VJ Day ceremony, Eternal Legacy: Honoring the Greatest Generation and Inspiring the Next. This special program, free with museum admission, connects you directly to Pearl Harbor for a powerful tribute to the heroes of WWII.

Walk the decks, immerse yourself in history, and take part in this meaningful day of remembrance at Patriots Point.
