Well it’s been quite a year. We have had a Wuhan Lab disaster in communist China that took its toll on all of us. We wore masks and fogged up our glasses for more than a year, saw our once favorite restaurants close, watched an entire generation of entitlement children collect unemployment checks verses going to work and watched a disastrous withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan. It wasn’t our best year but in the end one amazing thing did happen: The US Navy kept their watch and kept all of us at home protected. That is why the US Navy Birthday Month Is Honored At Navy Crow.r 13th, 2021
IN AN EFFORT TO CURB BRITISH SEA CONTROL, the Continental Congress established the Continental Navy, which later, on October 13, 1775, became the United States Navy. When the infant Navy was first formed, it consisted of just two armed vessels – tasked with disrupting munition ships supplying the British Army in America. Yet over the past nearly two and one-half centuries, our Navy has grown to become the largest, most advanced, and most lethal fighting force the world has ever known.
This year marks the 246th birthday of the United States Navy and what a long and honorable tradition it has maintained over these many decades.
In 1972, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, designated October 13 as the Navy’s official birthday, and directed that it be commemorated so as to “enhance [the] appreciation of our Navy heritage” and reinforce “pride and professionalism in the Naval Service.”
In addition to this year marking the Navy’s 246th birthday, the year ahead will mark several other historic milestones for the Navy. Throughout the year, Navy will celebrate the 28th anniversary of women’s first assignment aboard a combat ship,
the 53th anniversary of Navy’s Fighter Weapons School — Top Gun, the 78th anniversary of Navy’s success during Operation Overlord (D-Day) and the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the 103rd anniversary of the end of World War I.
NavyCrow.Com has the military designs for the US Navy Birthday
Not as long of a history as the US Navy but in its 15th year producing custom shirts and US Navy challenge coins for the Sailors of the US Navy we have a lot of art we want to share. The largest collection of commemorative challenge coins from the warships spanning generations from the warships of the Second World War, to the fighters over the skies of the Korean War are just a small number of coins in comparison to the literally hundreds they offer. Rates such as Hospital Corpsman
