Submarine Memorial

The event is free to the general public, who are encouraged to watch from the Ohio River shore. Veterans of the Requin Base will toll the bell once for each submarine that is on "Eternal Patrol" and will cast flower petals on the water so that they may "travel down the rivers of this great nation and to the oceans" where fellow submarines are at rest.

The Marine Color Guard from Three Rivers Leatherneck Detachment 310 and the VFW Post 9199 Honor Guard will perform a 21-gun salute.

After the service, visitors are encouraged to tour Requin, explore life on a submarine, and discover challenges that the crew faced while on board.

Admission to the submarine will be free all day.

Carnegie Science Center will be open on Memorial Day (Monday, May 28) and offers a discount for all military personnel and veterans.
