June 6, 1944 – D-Day🇺🇸

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 🇺🇸

CONGRATULATIONS to the @UsmmaO officers who just passed their U.S. Coast Guard License Exam 🚢

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 America’s Merchant Mariners ⚓️

Years of preparation have led to this moment.

Rooting for a day filled with bell ringing again and again and again.

Highlighting USMMA’s role in maritime readiness, economic security and national defense, and importance of sustained investment in our Campus Modernization Plan.

[Congresswoman Laura Gillen @RepLauraGillen]

Yesterday, I joined a group of bipartisan colleagues and Administration officials at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in King’s Point on Long Island to review the Campus Modernization Plan and assess urgent infrastructure needs.

I’ll keep working in Congress to secure the investments needed to ensure Midshipmen have safe, modern facilities for future generations of mariners.

Midshipmen @USMMA were recognized for academic excellence & outstanding performance at sea, earning Gold/Silver Stars & Sea Year Ribbons. Classroom to ocean, leaders are forged here.
