- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Jun, 2025 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: Please join us for the Annual Memorial Service at the USS Liberty Memorial at Ontario Beach Park, 50 Beach Ave., Rochester, NY 14612.  The memorial is at the head of the pier near the Dentzel Carousal.

    Veterans For Peace, Chapter 23, will be conducting a memorial Service on the 58th anniversary date of the June 8, 1967 attack by Israeli Defense Forces on the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) in International waters in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  34 United States sailors and Marines were killed during the attack, and an additional 171 were wounded.  We will be holding a solemn memorial service to remember those who died in the attack, and also remember all those who have died as a result of wars and military aggression. 

   As was noted at another time, Veterans For Peace has been asked to continue the tradition of memorializing the men of the USS Liberty in prayer and historical remembrance on the anniversary of the attack in 1967.  Rev. James Swarts, and Rev. Richard Myers will lead the memorial service.  They will be joined along with other veterans organizations, and representatives from Rochester Witness For Palestine. LCDR Kurt Letz, USNR (ret'd.) will present remarks on behalf of the United States Navy.  In addition to prayers and remembrances, we will remember their names by a reading of the names of those who were killed during that attack.  Kirk Morrison from the Eastman School of Music will provide the musical accompaniment.

We ask that everyone remember that this is a Memorial Service and that there be no displays, banners, or signs that would distract from the solemness of the service.  Attendees will be given an opportunity to offer their commemorations.
