United States Navy Memorial
October 13, 1987 was the long awaited official dedication of the U.
S. Navy Memorial, the 212th birthday of the United States Navy. The Navy
brought out the big guns on the portico of the National Archives across the
street from the Memorial: the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the
Navy, the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, the Chief of Naval
Operations, the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. Nearly all of their
living predecessors gathered in the audience, including Admiral Arleigh A.
Burke. A far larger throng were Navy veterans from all over America.
