US Navy Memorial Veterans Day Program

The United States Navy Memorial will honor Veterans Day with its special “Authors on Deck” book lecture series, followed by a commemorative wreath laying ceremony and a literary reading by the Veterans Writing Project. Author Patrick K. O’Donnell will present his latest work, First SEALs (Da Capo Press, 2014), in which he brings to light the untold story of World War II’s first special operations combat swimmers- precursors of today’s US Navy SEALs.
