History Galley - Peach Pie
With the addition of bakeries on larger ships, cooks could offer the crew a wider variety of desserts. This peach pie recipe uses a filling made of dried peaches, which would keep longer underway allowing cooks to always have a dessert ready for the crew. Learn how the Navy makes their peach pie in the #HistoryGalley.
Peace Comes to America
After the celebratory mood following news of the Allied Victory in the Pacific came the sobering realization that the great economic engine of wartime production was winding down — orders for ships, planes and tanks had already been scaling back since 1944. How would the country rebuild its economy now that the war was over?
In this 10-minute film, “Peace Comes to America,” produced by the US Navy and the US Coast Guard, President Harry S. Truman explains the financial costs of the war effort and the expenses that will follow in the transition to peace.
“Deep in our hearts there is a prayer dedicated to the men and women whose sacrifices made possible the victory,” said Truman. “We shall now concentrate our thoughts and our energies on the building of a prosperous and secure peacetime America.”

D-Day 76 Joint Message
Every year, U.S. European Command Components and historic-lineage military units from the U.S. participate in D-Day commemoration in the Normandy region of France. Due to COVID-19, the most disruptive global crisis since World War II, most D-Day 76 events/ceremonies are cancelled this year.

Telesforo Trinidad - Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Fireman Second Class Telesforo Trinidad was the first Asian American Pacific Islander Sailor to receive the Medal of Honor, and remains the medal's only Filipino recipient in U.S. Naval history.
Born on November 25, 1890 in Aklan Province, Panay, Philippine Islands, Trinidad enlisted in the U.S. Navy after the United States took possession of the archipelago in the wake of the Spanish-American War.
On January 21, 1915, an obstructed tube of one of the USS San Diego's (ACR-6) boilers gave way, creating an eventual chain reaction of other boilers. The first explosion, in the No. 2 boiler, forced Trinidad from the fireroom as Ensign R. W. Cary, Jr. was closing the door. Trinidad then realized that his crewmate, Fireman Second Class R. W. Daly, was still inside. Risking his own life, Trinidad re-entered the smoke-filled fireroom and carried him out to safety while Ensign Cary secured the door. However, as Trinidad carried Daly through the No. 4 fireroom, an explosion of the No. 3 boiler hit Trinidad, burning him in the face. After seeing Daly to safety and in spite of his own injury, Trinidad then assisted in rescuing another injured crewman from the No. 3 fireroom.
In gratitude for his bravery, Trinidad received the Medal of Honor on April 1, 1915. Trinidad survived the ordeal and lived a long life, finally passing away at the age of 77 on May 8, 1968 in Imus, Cavite, Republic of the Philippines.
