Memorial Day 2022 at the National D-Day Memorial

Memorial Day Commemoration. Speaker Dave Carey, a retired Navy captain, Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, will inspire us this Memorial Day. Carey’s aircraft was destroyed while flying a combat mission over North Vietnam and he spent the following five and a half years as a POW incarcerated in numerous Vietnamese prisons. His POW experience taught him timeless lessons that are applicable to everyone. His book, The Ways We Choose, Lessons for Life From a POW’s Experience will be available and he will conduct a book-signing after the ceremony.
