Today, on Navy Day, we celebrate the U.S. Navy and honor 250 years of service by all sailors—past and present—with this performance of “Victory at Sea” from the 1999 concert, accompanied by images from October 27, 1945, when more than five million New Yorkers gathered along the Hudson River waterfront to recognize the tremendous efforts of the U.S. Naval fighting forces and to welcome home the fleet and sailors returning from deployments around the world at the end of World War II. #MemDayPBS #M

From rehearsal to the performance, the U.S. Navy Band inspires patriotism and preserves the Nation’s musical heritage. Happy 250th Navy and Marine Corps! #usnavy #navy250 #navyband #philadelphia | United States Navy Band

Please take time this #MemorialDay weekend to appreciate the bravery and sacrifice of our Armed Forces with our rendition of the Navy's Hymn. We honor those who fought for the freedom we cherish, and their service will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸 #usn #usnavy #veterans #memorialdayweekend #militarymusic | United States Navy Band
