Long Beach Council Navy League of the United States
"Citizens in Support of the Sea Services"
Welcome Aboard!
Since its founding in 1902, and with the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, the Navy League of the United States has provided a powerful voice for a stronger sea service to Congress and to the American People. The Navy League has grown to become the foremost citizens' organization to serve, support, and stand with all the U.S. sea services -- the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine.
NLUS Mission
The Navy League has set forth the following objectives:
To foster and maintain interest in a strong Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine as integral parts of a sound national defense and vital to the freedom of the United States.
To serve as a means of educating and informing the American people with regard to the role of sea power in the nuclear age and the problems involved in maintaining strong defenses in that age.
To improve the understanding and appreciation of those who wear the uniforms of our armed forces and to better the conditions under which they live and serve.
To provide support and recognition for the Reserve forces in our communities in order that we may continue to have a capable and responsive Reserve.
To educate and train our youth in the customs and traditions of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine through the means of an active and vigorous Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
