Help commemorate the sacrifice of our servicemen at the 78th Anniversary of the Port Chicago Naval Magazine Disaster on Saturday, July 16. National Park Services is inviting us to help commemorate the sacrifice of 320 sailors and civilians at Port Chicago on July 17, 1944.

Come learn more about this little known piece of WWII history. The Port Chicago disaster was WWII’s deadliest home-front accident during which 320 men were killed and 360 individuals were injured. This is a great opportunity to complete Citizenship in the Nation requirement 7a.
