As the United States Navy and Marine Corps prepare to celebrate their 250th Birthdays this October and November and NAS Pensacola prepares to celebrate its 200th Birthday next year it is fitting that the Pensacola community comes together to commemorate the remarkable bond that we share with our local military and veterans. Harking back to the establishment of a Navy Yard in Pensacola in 1825 the history and heritage of Pensacola has been inextricably linked to our active duty service members, their families, and our veterans.
Navy Days was established to provide the local community with a vehicle to recognize and honor those warriors who have for over two centuries lived and worked among us in times of peace and war. Let us then come together this May to further enhance the relationship with our military that we have so carefully cultivated over time. Whether you wear or have worn the cloth of our Nation, are a local resident, or are simply a visitor to our fair city please join us in celebrating the honor and legacy of our inspiring military and the indomitable spirit of a grateful community. Make Navy Days an event to remember and a memory that our military will cherish.
