Today we celebrate the anniversary of July 4th, 1776, when the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from Great Britain through the Declaration of Independence. July 4th was first declared a federal holiday in 1941, but Independence Day celebrations date back to the late 18th century during and after the Revolutionary War. On this day, we celebrate the birth of the nation that would eventually become the United States of America, and the freedom that is such an integral part of our country's values.

The free, on-line Navy Log is paramount in their efforts to record the photos, and military service of all these men and women as well as their service memories for posterity. However we can’t do this monumental task alone. We ask you to help in this extraordinary effort -- spread the word. Click here for the Navy Log brochure for more information.
