June 6, 1944 โ D-Day๐บ๐ธ
US Merchant Marine & Kings Point cadet-midshipmen played a vital role supporting Operation Overlord, delivering the bombs, bullets, food, and fuel that sustained the invasion and helped establish a foothold in Normandy.
We remember and honor D-Day today.

MUST WATCH: RING THAT BELL ๐บ๐ธ
CONGRATULATIONS to the @UsmmaO officers who just passed their U.S. Coast Guard License Exam ๐ข
Ringing the Powell Oval bell is the ultimate milestone. The second a Midshipman finds out they passed, they hit that bell to mark the exact finish line of their training and the official launch of their career at sea!
Say hello to the next generation of Americaโs Merchant Mariners โ๏ธ
Today, the Class of 2026 learns the results of their U.S. Coast Guard License Exams.
Years of preparation have led to this moment.
Rooting for a day filled with bell ringing again and again and again.

This week USMMA leaders met with leaders from Maersk Line, Limited, U.S. Marine Management Inc, TOTE Services, and Liberty Maritime Corporation to hear directly from industry leaders about what is most needed from Kings Point graduates to help restore American maritime dominance!
This week, USMMA leaders met with Military Sealift Command Commander Rear Adm. Benjamin R. Nicholson to hear directly how Kings Point can best support operational leaders and help restore American maritime dominance in support of our economic and national security.
It is my HONOR to be a part of the unveiling of a new memorial pavilion at @UsmmaO
This pays tribute to the heroic midshipmen who served America and are an important part of our history ๐บ๐ธ
GO KINGS POINT, I am proud of you! โ๏ธ

The Memorial Pavilion at @USMMAO will stand as a lasting tribute to all Kings Pointers across all generations who have passed.
Made possible by the @USMMA_Alumni, it reflects the enduring legacy of this Academy. Thanks to all who joined us, especially our @SecDuffy ๐บ๐ธ
Honored to welcome @RepJackBergman, @RepRickLarsen, @RepLauraGillen, and @RepBurgessOwens to Kings Point last week.
Highlighting USMMAโs role in maritime readiness, economic security and national defense, and importance of sustained investment in our Campus Modernization Plan.
Yesterday, I joined a group of bipartisan colleagues and Administration officials at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kingโs Point on Long Island to review the Campus Modernization Plan and assess urgent infrastructure needs.
Iโll keep working in Congress to secure the investments needed to ensure Midshipmen have safe, modern facilities for future generations of mariners.
On April 16, @SecDuffy hosted our @USMMA football team at @USDOT HQ to celebrate the 2025 Secretaries Cup victory.
DOT went all out, turning HQ into Kings Point for the day. Our midshipmen felt truly honored.
Watch the highlights:
