The United States Navy celebrated its 244th Birthday on October 13th... I don't recall seeing a post on it, so I thought I would post a short Pictorial Video with the Navy Song as the sound Backdrop... It is inspiring to see what the Modern Navy is like!!! A belated Happy 244th Birthday to the United States Navy!
Please watch full screen with sound up for the best visual experience!

"On October 13, 1775, the fledgling United States Navy was commissioned by the Continental Congress to offset and harass the powerful British Royal Navy. That history, now 234 years old is full of glory and pride.
This video is simply a rendition of the United States Navy anthem. It is full of images of the modern Navy and its history. Countless men and women who have served over that history from the Revolutionary War, to the War of 1812, to the Spanish American War, to WWI and WWII, Korea Vietnam, the Gulf War and the post 9/11 wars share in the making of that history.
The United States Navy has been a part of the defense of this nation from before it gained its independence. Today’s sailors serve in the greatest force for the defense of freedom in the world. They project American power for war fighting capabilities and the most significant, swift and efficient force for good in times of natural disaster around the world." Dan Doyle

Yeah-We decided we couldn't quite compete with the Marine Corps for knowing how to put on a proper birthday celebration...so we Sailors celebrate by switching half the light bulbs in the house to red, staying up thirty-six hours straight, drinking an entire pot of coffee, then standing out on the porch, in the rain...yelling out to our spouses, "Contact bearing 290, range 1,000 yards!" every time a car goes by.
Seriously though...thanks for the share, Sgt (Join to see) !
