U.S. Navy Birthday, 1775

The Second Continental Congress established a 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 and their mission was to wage raids against the ships that supplied British forces in North America. After the war, the Continental Navy was dismantled, but pirate threats to American merchant shipping led President George Washington to establish the Naval Act of 1794, creating a permanent standing US Navy.
In 1972, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt authorized official recognition of 13 October as the birthday of the U.S. Navy.

America celebrates the bravery and sacrifices of all veterans, both living and deceased. Veterans Day should not be confused with Memorial Day, which honors service members who have died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle.
World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. Fighting ceased, however, seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
