Exclusive Opportunity: Honoring The Battle Off Samar

October 21, 2022 | History

You're invited to join us tomorrow - Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 12:00 PM PST - for a fascinating discussion about the Battle Off Samar.

This incredible naval engagement is widely regarded as one of the most heroic efforts of World War II, and the acts of bravery shown by the captains and ships involved are almost too moving for words.

This deep-dive into an unforgettable clash will be presented by Rear Admiral (Ret.) Sam Cox, Director of Naval History and Heritage Command.

A digital poster titled No Higher Honor features historic naval battleships, explosions at sea, and text honoring the Battle off Samar, 1944, under the Naval History and Heritage Command.
