Happy 242nd Birthday

Post by Ysabel Kid »

To the United States Navy!

Per the Patriot Post's digest today: "On October 13, 1775, the U.S. Navy was born when the Continental Congress authorized the arming of two sailing vessels with 80 men and 10 carriage guns in order to intercept British supply and munitions transports. The Declaration of Independence came nine months later, followed by the creation of the Department of the Navy in 1798."

Non sibi sed patriae

Thank you to all you Navy veterans!!!

Congratulations...... :) It took real courage to take on the Royal Navy at that time.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
