NORFOLK, Va. — At Naval Station Norfolk, Memorial Day was marked with a 21-gun salute.
The saluting battery fired 21 single rounds at one-minute intervals. It took place at noon at the USS Iowa Memorial.
Forty-seven sailors were killed on board the Iowa when one of the ship’s turrets exploded in 1989.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony wasn't open to the public, only military members.
