Theodore Roosevelt

The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational and advocacy organization that supports America’s sea services — the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.

The Navy League has provided a powerful voice for a stronger sea service to Congress and to the American people. We have grown into the foremost citizens’ organization to serve, support and stand with all the sea services – the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.

We take pride in recognizing the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman program volunteers as well as the U.S. Marine Corps Family Readiness Officers. For the second year, this event allows Commands and local community leaders an opportunity to recognize these amazing active-duty family members.

Fall date is still TBD
