VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (Oct. 9, 2019) Cmdr. Steve Dundas, command chaplain, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story and Seaman Kory Glove of the USS Carter Hall (LSD-50) cut a birthday cake in celebration of the U.S. Navy’s 244th Birthday. Tradition dictates that both the oldest and youngest Sailor present cut the cake.
Held in conjunction with the Navy’s 244th birthday, Fleet Week Hampton Roads honors Sailors, past and present, who are our neighbors, volunteers and citizens who actively work each day to enhance the quality of life for area residents and visitors. The Navy will celebrate its birthday Oct. 13. The birthday theme this year is “No Higher Honor,” which focuses on the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf – the largest sea battle in modern day history.
The U.S. Navy, local businesses and civic organizations will celebrate 2019 Fleet Week Hampton Roads, Oct. 11-19, with a variety of events that serve to honor the outstanding contributions and selfless sacrifice of Sailors and their families, and recognizes Hampton Roads as "America’s Navy Town."
