Eternal Legacy: Honoring the Greatest Generation and Inspiring the Next
September 2 marks the formal end of WWII, a moment when hope for lasting peace reemerged. Aboard the USS Missouri, the most devastating war in history ended with the stroke of a pen and words of reconciliation. We invite you to join us to Honor the Greatest Generation and Inspire the Next.
Commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the End of World War II
Join us aboard the Battleship Missouri Memorial from August 31 – September 2, 2025, for a series of special events honoring this historic anniversary. We are honored to welcome WWII Guests of Honor—returning USS Missouri crew members who witnessed the formal surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay—as well as modern-era crew members who served during the Korean War and Gulf War. Experience history firsthand with brand-new exhibit openings, exclusive after-hours events, and our annual commemoration ceremony.
