Today we celebrate 250 years of service, strength, and sacrifice. Happy Birthday to the United States Navy! To all who have served and continue to serve - thank you for your dedication to keeping our nation safe.

We had a celebration on Friday at ICVA where we got to honor our employees who are also Navy Veterans. 💗 We are so honored that they choose to continue to serve by working at the VA.

If you served, are serving, or know someone please drop their photo below so we can all thank them for their service and honor the Navy today.
