BOARDWALK EMPIRE: Memorial Day Speech of Jimmy Darmody from Episode 205

Relive a charged moment from Boardwalk Empire with this authentic Memorial Day Speech prop from Season 2, Episode 5 ("Gimcrack & Bunkum"). Delivered by Nucky Thompson at a Memorial Day ceremony in Atlantic City in May 1921, this speech honors veterans and touts the city as “the world’s playground,” as noted on the Boardwalk Empire Wiki. In a calculated move, Nucky, played by Steve Buscemi, unexpectedly calls Jimmy Darmody, a World War I veteran, to the stage to speak, heightening the tension between them amid their bitter power struggle. The moment underscores Nucky’s ability to manipulate public perception while pressuring Jimmy in front of the community.
