USS Hornet Museum Commemorates U.S.-China WWII Cooperation

An event commemorating the 80th anniversary of World War II's Allied victory will take place at the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum on August 30. The gathering will underscore the shared experiences of U.S. and Chinese forces during the war.

Prominent attendees include descendants of commanders from the China-Burma-India Theater, such as the family of U.S. Gen. Joseph Stilwell. Stilwell is best known for the Stilwell Road, a crucial supply route that supported Chinese forces by transporting over 50,000 tons of supplies.

This event aims to honor wartime contributions and stress the significance of peace and international collaboration for future generations. The Stilwell family sees it as both a remembrance and a testament to enduring international ties.
