June 2025: Midway

THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY, FOUGHT IN JUNE 194Z, WAS A TURNING POINT IN THE PACIFIC THEATER OF WORLD WAR II— AN AUDACIOUS AND DECISIVE AMERICAN VICTORY THAT SHATTERED JAPAN'S NAVAL DOMINANCE AND SHIFTED THE COURSE OF THE WAR. IN THE ARTWORK PROVIDED, THAT HISTORIC CLASH IS POWERFULLY REIMAGINED THROUGH A POP-ART WAR COLLAGE: A FIERCE EAGLE-SYMBOL OF AMERICAN

VIGILANCE AND RETRIBUTION—GRIPS A TARGET SCOPE TRAINED ON A BURNING ENEMY VESSEL, ITS TALONS CLENCHED WITH PURPOSE.

THE SHARK-LIKE MAW EMERGING FROM THE SEA HINTS AT BOTH THE EVER-PRESENT THREAT OF SUBMARINE WARFARE AND THE FEROCITY OF MIDWAY'S AERIAL AND MARITIME COMBAT. THIS VISUAL NARRATIVE DOESN'T MERELY COMMEMDRATE A BATTLE; IT IMMORTALIZES A MOMENT WHEN GRIT, CODEBREAKING, AND

UINYIELDING RESOLVE TURNED THE TIDE OF WAR
