⚓🇺🇸 HAPPY 251ST BIRTHDAY, U.S. NAVY! 🇺🇸⚓

For 251 years, the brave men and women of the United States Navy have answered the call to serve, defending our freedom, protecting our nation, and standing watch across the world’s oceans.

VFW 5434 proudly honors every Sailor, past and present, for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice.

To our Navy veterans, active-duty Sailors, and the families who stand beside them, we thank you for your service and unwavering commitment to our great nation.

Fair Winds and Following Seas! ⚓🇺🇸

Today marks 26 years since Al-Qaeda attacked the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen. 17 US Sailors were killed, another 40 wounded. The small vessel pulled alongside the USN Destroyer. To get shipside, the bombers waived and acted friendly then detonated themselves. May the lives of the killed US Sailors never be forgotten, and may those injured be honored always.
