Today is International Coffee Day.

Today marks the Navy's 249th birthday. Since 1972, each CNO has encouraged a Navy-wide celebration of this occasion “to enhance a greater appreciation of our Navy heritage, and to provide a positive influence toward pride and professionalism in the naval service.”

Today marks the National Day of the Deployed. This day honors all service members who have been deployed in service of our country. The day also acknowledges the sacrifices that military families make during deployment.

Every November, the Nation celebrates National American Indian Heritage Month. It’s an opportunity to recognize the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, stories, and significant contributions of Native American and Alaska Native peoples.
