Happy 237th Birthday Navy

[Asst Natl Dir Melony B. DeFord]

The United States Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on 13 October 1775, by authorizing the procurement, fitting out, manning, and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. The legislation also established a Naval Committee to supervise the work. All together, the Continental Navy numbered some fifty ships over the course of the war, with approximately twenty warships active at its maximum strength.

We should all thank our service members and their families for there sacrifice. My father served and retired from the U.S.N. I was so proud of him and the uniform that stood for freedom. He looks down from heaven knowing his brothers and sisters still carry on the fight. I may have chosen a different branch to serve and retire, but the U.S. Navy will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all and God Bless
