Body

Whereas, from its earliest settlement, Pittsburgh has had a rich and admirable maritime history which has been honored by two U.S. Navy ships; and
Whereas, the City of Pittsburgh is home to so many active duty, reservists, veterans, Sea Cadets and NROTC members; and
Whereas, the Navy has become such an important part of this City's Independence Day, with its development of an annual week-long celebration and appreciation of service to our City, County, State and Country.
