Lindsey, commander, Navy Region Southwest, back row third from right pose for a photo with Battle of Midway veterans and USS Midway Museum Representatives during the Battle of Midway commemoration event aboard the USS Midway Museum. The Battle of Midway is an important marker in naval heritage because it is considered to have changed the course of the war in the Pacific during World War II by putting the previously thought to be unstoppable Japanese forces on the defensive, where they remained until their ultimate surrender, Sept. 2, 1945.
