SUBJ:  243RD BIRTHDAY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY
1. Happy Birthday and congratulations to the United States Navy on 243 years
of exceptional service to our Nation.
2. Sailors exemplify the Navy’s core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
We are extremely proud to operate alongside our sister Service on the sea, land,
and in the air in the joint effort to protect our homeland, provide humanitarian
assistance, and combat transnational organized crime networks. The Navy plays a
significant role in putting Coast Guard steel on target by detecting and monitoring
illicit trafficking across a six-million square mile maritime drug transit zone.
The steadfast partnership between the Coast Guard and Navy is crucial for securing
our borders and projecting power around the globe.
3. On behalf of the 42,000 men and women of the United States Coast Guard,
Happy 243rd Birthday! May the Navy continue to remain "Forged by the Sea."
4. Admiral Karl L. Schultz, Commandant, sends.
5. Internet release is authorized.
