Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and devotion gave us the freedom we cherish every day.

We remember and we are deeply grateful. May we never take for granted the price that was paid.

Wishing our community a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Happy National Maritime Day! 🎉

The maritime industry remains an essential pillar of the American economy. As Florida's largest and most diverse port, we generate more than $34.6 billion in total economic value.

Join us in celebrating the rich history of American maritime commerce and the dedicated men and women who carry that legacy forward. 💪

The maritime industry is our history and our future.
