  • 🙏🏻 We are deeply grateful to all our guests who attended the USS Midway Museum's 50th Anniversary of the End of the Vietnam War Commemoration Ceremony today, as well as those who watched our Facebook livestream. Your presence and support mean the world to us, and we couldn't have asked for a better tribute to our Vietnam veterans. Thank you for taking the time to honor their service and sacrifice 🇺🇸

  • In honor of Women's History Month, we want to recognize Joellen Oslund, a true trailblazer in naval aviation. Oslund made history as the fourth female naval aviator to complete flight training and the first female to earn wings of gold as a helicopter pilot as designator R-12906.5. Her dedication, bravery, and skill have paved the way for countless women to follow in her footsteps. 
Oslund's legacy reminds us that we can achieve anything with determination and hard work. Thank you, Joellen Oslund, for your service and for inspiring future generations of women in aviation.
