USS Constitution Gets Underway to Honor Battle at Midway and Gold Star Families

Posted on Author Matt ContiComments Off on USS Constitution Gets Underway to Honor Battle at Midway and Gold Star Families

USS Constitution was underway in Boston Harbor today. The ship honored Gold Star Families – families who lost loved ones in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom – and also honored the Navy’s victory at Midway Island during World War II.

The Constitution exchanged 21-gun salutes with Fort Independence on Castle Island. Fort Independence is a state park that served as a defense post for Boston Harbor at one time.

Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat and welcomes more than 500,000 visitors a year. For more information on the ship, visit http://www.history.navy.mil/ussconstitution.
