Memorial service at veterans statue held in Solomons

On Sunday afternoon, several county residents, including many military veterans, attended the annual “On Watch Memorial Service” in Solomons. The event is held at the On Watch Sailor Memorial overlooking Solomons Harbor, which honors U.S. amphibious forces of World War II. The U.S. amphibious Forces Training Base was located at the end of the Dowell Peninsula from 1942 to 1945. The facility was the first of its kind. Over 68,000 servicemen trained there. A bronze statue, sculpted by Tobias Mendez, was dedicated at the site in 2007. Engraved bricks surrounding the statue are engraved with the names of men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. The ceremony's keynote speaker this year was Capt. Robert Chandler, Naval Air Station Patuxent River's commanding officer. Along with longtime Solomons resident Bob Priddy, a retired Air Force sergeant, Chandler laid a wreath at the base of the statue. The event was hosted by Calvert Marine Museum.
