Anniversaries of the Battle of Midway and D-Day.. The location of Midway in the Pacific became important militarily. Midway was a convenient refueling stop on transpacific flights and was also an important stop for Navy ships. Beginning in 1940, as tensions with the Japanese rose, Midway was deemed second only to Pearl Harbor in importance to the protection of the U.S. west coast. Airstrips, gun emplacements and a seaplane base quickly materialized on the tiny atoll.
