Awards Luncheon and Final Dinner on July 2. encouraged women to knit sweaters, mufflers, and mittens for seamen. Navy

League members have provided physi- cal and spiritual comfort to sea service members and their families.

Today more than 77,000 Navy League members, belonging to 330 councils around the world, still devote time, money, and energy to support and improve the well being of American ser- vice personnel and their families. Coun- cils adopt ships and units; honor enlisted personnel through various types of pro- fessional and leadership awards; host social events for military personnel; and support family members left behind when spouses or parents are deployed.

In addition, they provide scholarships for military personnel and their family members; raise money and provide vol- unteer workers for Fleet Week activities, ship welcomings, and ship commission- ings; and host birthday celebrations for the various sea services.

This year also marks the 40th anniver- sary of the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, a

Navy League program with more than 10,000 members throughout the U.S.

Councils invest in the youth of our nation by sponsoring and supporting Sea

Cadet programs across the country.

The convention will feature informa- tive sessions involving senior officers from the sea services and industry who will talk about shipbuilding, the Mer-

NORMANDY/ 1L NAVY LEAGUE chant Marines, Coast Guard operations, and Operation Enduring Freedom.

A highlight of the five-day convention will include a visit by Secretary of the

Navy Gordon R. England on Tuesday,

July 2, for the awards luncheon and the final dinner that evening.

So as the Navy League g athers in New

York City to celebrate their Centennial, it is with a renewed patriotic spirit and vigor we look to the future and rally around our Centennial theme: Citizens

In Support of the Sea Services. We ask that you join us in this worthy effort.
