TO STAMP , , Navy Celebrates 192nd Birthda,y Today It has never been easy for a Navy man to say goodbye to family and friends and go to sea for months at a time. But such proud sacrifice has come to symbolize the courage and devotion of this man ... a man who regards the hazards of the sea as normal risks in a life of service to country. Today is Navy Day and marks the 192nd anniversary of the United States Navy. Whether fighting a war in Viet Nam or working for peace on every ocean of the world, his job affects the lives of us all. October 27th was originally selected for the annual observ- ance of Navy Day for two reasons: First, it commemorates the historic day in the year 1775 when the Continental Congress received a bill providing for the creation and establishment of a fleet to protect the lives and property of a young and strug- gling nation. That took place 192 years ago on October 27. Sec- ondly, this date also marks the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt, that staunch and stouthearted American who rec- ognized the vital need for a strong Navy and gave his hearty support to a program which resulted in a Navy respected by every nation on earth. He is fondly recognized as the father of our modern Navy. The first national observance of Navy Day took place on October 27, 1922, under the sponsorship and supervision of the Navy League of the United States. Since that year the Navy League, as official sponsor of Navy Day celebrations, has played a major part in keeping American citizens informed and aware of the vital need for a strong, well-trained Navy - one ready to meet any emergency at any time.
