USS Hornet Museum in Alameda hosts event to celebrate 80th anniversary of WWII’s end

Bay Area locals are being invited by USS Hornet staff to commemorate the 80^th anniversary of the end of World War II on Aug. 30 aboard the aircraft carrier, where visitors will be reminded of the heroic stories of the past and the close partnership the United States had with its Chinese allies.

Docked in Alameda, the USS Hornet served several missions during WWII before converting into a public history museum. To mark the 80^th anniversary of the end of war in the Pacific theater, it will serve as the venue for a celebratory event between 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., filled with activities such as panel discussions by historians and those with personal histories tied to WWII, music and dance, and a fashion show with over 48 dresses.
