In my years of service, and most especially in my capacity as USCINCEUR, I have witnessed many times the dedication and professionalism of the highly competent men and women of the U.S. Navy. I have unlimited respect for the seagoing service. Those of you who new serve are a major part of two centuries of proud traditions and magnificent heritage. The Navy's area of responsibility is world-wide and hir exerted itself successfully in two world wars and in many conflicts and crises. Without your mobility and deterrent power, our nation could not today command the high position of respect it holds in the Free World. All of you have given selflessly of your energy and your talents. Speaking especially to the Navy personnel in the U.S. European Command, I want to say thanks for your tireless devotion. You have served your nation well and have performed magnificently in times of crisis and trouble. The plaudits uhich come your way on the occasion of your 200th Birthday are richly deserved. I am certain that as you begin your third century of Naval Service, you will continue the many proud traditions which have been established and that you will go forward with pride as you serve the Navy of the future. Happy Birthday - and many happy returns. May you always have fair winds and following seas. Signed: Alexander M. HAIG, Jr., General, USA, Commander in Chief, U.S. European Command.U in 1775, our forefathers, who had crossed the ocean in search of freedom, banded together as 13 colonies and established the united states navy. from this beginning, the navy is linked in spirit and tradition to each of the 50 states that now form our union. the 13 stars of the navy's 200th birthday insignia lon back coverj represent the 13 original colonies whose continental congress formed the navy. fifty links on the chain represent the modern states, and the anchor recalls the strength and bravery of mankind inspired by the sea.
