The House Concurrent Resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Navy, highlighting its historical significance and connection to Vermont. It traces the origins of the Navy back to 1775, when the Rhode Island General Assembly called for the formation of a fleet to protect American ports, leading to the Continental Congress's establishment of the Navy. The resolution notes the Navy's crucial role during the American War of Independence and its subsequent reformation in 1794 to address new maritime threats.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the pride of U.S. Navy veterans residing at the Vermont Veterans Home as they celebrate this milestone. It calls for the issuance of commemorative U.S. postage stamps and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont Veterans Home, ensuring that the contributions of Navy veterans are recognized and honored.
