Navy Operational Support Center-Dix Commander Capt. Ken Skaggs (left), and Lance Cpl. Joseph Hayes, Marine Aircraft Group 49, lead the wreath laying during the 69th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway ceremony Friday in Hangar 1 on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. The Battle of Midway is considered the decisive battle of the war in the Pacific during World War II. The U.S. Pacific Fleet surprised the Japanese forces, sinking the four Japanese carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor only six months before. After Midway, the Americans and their Allies took the offensive in the Pacific. (U.S. Air Force photo by Wayne Russell)
