On October 27, 1922, the United States celebrated the first Navy Day. And nearly 100 years later on this day, we continue to honor all of the men and women who serve or have served in the United States Navy.<\/p>\n

The date October 27 was chosen because it is\u00a0the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was an Assistant Secretary of the Navy and also greatly expanded the U.S. Navy. OWC Logistical\/Security Manager Larry O\u2019Connor, who served in the Navy, spoke of his service time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI volunteered and loved every minute of my service time.\u00a0I got a tour of southeast Asia on one of the Navy\u2019s slowest ships \u2013 a minesweeper. \u00a0However, note that we went before the biggest, fastest ships because a mine could put down the biggest vessel.\u201d O\u2019Connor added that the motto of the sweeps was \u201cWooden Ships Iron Men\u201d.<\/p>\n

We hope that you\u2019ll join us on this Navy Day in honoring those who are serving or have served in the Navy to help protect our country, as well as all of the Service Personnel serving our nation today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
