Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy!
On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the creation of a naval force during the American Revolution. That decision marked the beginning of what would become the United States Navy.
For 251 years, American Sailors have served around the world, in times of war and peace, to protect our nation, defend our freedom, and carry out the mission at sea.
Fair winds and following seas! Happy Birthday U. S. Navy!

Happy National Hero Day!
Today we honor the heroes who have answered the call to serve and defend our nation. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication have helped shape the history of our country.
Among those remembered is General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who led Allied forces in Europe during WWII. As Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force , Eisenhower carried the enormous responsibility of coordinating Allied forces and directing the campaign that ultimately helped bring victory in Europe.
But Eisenhower often emphasized that victory was never the achievement of one person. It belonged to the millions of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and civilians who served and sacrificed.
Today we remember them all with gratitude and respect.
