Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy!

The City of Boston Veterans’ Services honors the Sailors, past and present, whose courage, dedication, and sacrifice have protected our nation for generations.

Boston’s connection to the Navy spans centuries—from USS Constitution, built and launched here in Boston in 1797 and still serving as the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, to USS Massachusetts (SSN 798), commissioned this year in Boston Harbor on March 28, 2026. Together, they represent a proud legacy of service and Boston’s enduring place in our nation’s naval history.

That legacy also lives on through the Navy veterans and military families who call our city home. Today, we salute all who have worn the Navy uniform, the families who stand beside them, and the shipmates who never returned home.

Thank you for your service and for standing the watch. Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy!

Shayne was 19 years old at the time of his passing.

We join Shayne’s family and friends in honoring and remembering him and his service to and sacrifice for this nation.

TCAVA Update: While we were electing new national leadership yesterday, Sen. Blumenthal and Sen. Moran were squaring off on the Senate floor, each presenting competing motions to pass TCAVA. Both failed. The bottom line remains: NO CUTS. Remove Section 108. Let’s keep up the pressure! Contact Congress now!
