THE WAR IS OVER!
Help Battleship Cove commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII with "V for Victory."

V FOR VICTORY: Battleship Cove is an official partner with the US Department of Defense WWII 60th Anniversary Commemoration Committee, and between May 8 (VE Day) and September 2 (official Japanese surrender on board the battleship Missouri) we will commemorate the historic anniversary with “V for Victory,” an integrated program of ceremonies and special events designed to honor WWII veterans and promote history education. If you, your company or your veterans group would like to get involved, please contact the director of development.
