Memorial Day in Muskegon "Lost Boat" Ceremony-USS Silversides


This "Lost Boat" Ceremony is a truly moving tribute to the brave young men who gave their lives for our country.
Well worth your time.

"Every year on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, the Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum holds the Lost Boat Ceremony. This event honors the 52 submarines and and 3,000 men who were lost during WWII. Each year there is a different keynote speaker. This past year guests were honored to have Admiral Richard Anderson speak about his experiences on USS BLENNY, SS-324, and USS CORPORAL, SS-346."
