Navy Day, How New York City welcomed the American armada home from WW11 as featured in the New York Daily News—The day was Saturday and the fleet was ready displaying mile after mile of battle-gray men-of-war and lined the river. Everything around the river was bumper to bumper awaiting President Truman’s arrival. The Navy’s newest carrier, the Franklin D. Roosevelt, awaiting commissioning. As Truman made his way to City Hall he was escorted by 2000 military and 80,000 civilians and an additional 900,000 sitting all over, the bands played “Anchors Aweigh” and in conclusion, it was “America the Beautiful”.

Next followed the Day of the Deployed. “It is a day to honor our troops and their families for their bravery and the sacrifices they are making for our country”

Day of the Deployed will be observed on Wednesday, October 26, 2022. The movement began in 2006 in North Dakota when Hoeven was governor. Constituent Aberle approached the governor as she wanted to show support for her cousin in Iraq. Hoeven initiated October 26 as Day of the Deployed. Most states now recognize some form of this holiday. On this day, the important aspect is to honor our deployed troops and their families. No matter what type of gesture you choose, it is heartfelt.

Navy Day was originally sponsored by the Navy League in 1922. Navy Day is designed to give recognition to the naval service. The Navy League of New York proposed that the official observance be on October 27 in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt, who had been born on that day.
