AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the United States Navy's 250th birthday, commemorating the service and contributions of the Navy since its founding on October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress voted to outfit two sailing vessels during the Revolutionary War. The resolution highlights the Navy's core values of honor, courage, and commitment, and notes that over 330,000 active duty sailors currently serve the country. It specifically emphasizes Wisconsin's role in supporting the Navy through industrial, technological, and personnel contributions, including a rich shipbuilding history that has produced various naval vessels like submarine chasers, tank landing ships, and modern combat ships. The resolution acknowledges that at least 30 U.S. Navy ships have been named after Wisconsin and its associated people and places, and pays tribute to two battleships named USS Wisconsin. By recognizing the Navy's 250-year legacy, the resolution celebrates the sailors' continuous dedication to defending the United States' freedoms, values, and interests from the Revolutionary War to the present day.
