Episode Details

Tonight, the Battleship North Carolina will glow in red, white, and blue to honor Patriot Day — a solemn tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and the courageous first responders who answered the call. The lighting ceremony begins at sunset and is visible from the Riverwalk, local parks, and across the Cape Fear River, inviting the community to reflect together. Dr. Jay Martin, executive director of the memorial, says this tradition continues the battleship’s legacy as a place of remembrance for service and sacrifice. Open year-round, the memorial stands as both a living tribute and an educational beacon for future generations. As the ship lights up, it’s a powerful moment to remember, honor, and celebrate resilience.
