Happy Birthday to the United States Navy!

Since October 13, 1775, generations of sailors have answered the call to serve, protecting our nation, defending our freedoms and carrying forward a proud tradition of service at sea and around the world.

Today, we salute all who have worn the Navy uniform past and present.

Fair winds and following seas!
