On October 13, 1775 the Continental Congress authorized the procurement of two fast, agile, well armed vessels to seize munitions bound for the British army in America thus giving birth to the United States Navy. On this 235th birthday, it is fitting that we remember those who are and have served our nation. One of the least told, but most important, stories about the Navy is that of the destroyer men, the "Tin Can Sailors", who supported the landings on Omaha Beach on D-Day June 6, 1944. There can be no better narrators of this story then the Army men who landed there on that day.
