Bill Summary
A Resolution designating October 13, 2025, as the "250th Birthday of the United States Navy" in Pennsylvania.
AI Summary
This resolution designates October 13, 2025, as the "250th Birthday of the United States Navy" in Pennsylvania, commemorating the founding of the Continental Navy on October 13, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress authorized its first ships in Philadelphia. The resolution highlights the Navy's historical significance, noting that the U.S. Constitution explicitly provides Congress the power to "provide and maintain a Navy," and traces the Navy's evolution from a small fleet of 27 ships defending independence to today's global maritime force with hundreds of ships and thousands of aircraft. The resolution emphasizes the Navy's core values of "Honor, Courage and Commitment" and recognizes the service and sacrifice of Navy personnel, coinciding with Philadelphia's planned Homecoming 250 celebration from October 9, 2025, which will honor 250 years of naval and marine service. By passing this resolution, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives formally acknowledges the Navy's critical role in protecting national interests and promoting freedom throughout its 250-year history.
