This resolution recognizes the 180th anniversary of the United States Naval Academy, which falls on October 10, 2025. The resolution honors the institution's founding in Annapolis, Maryland, by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, and celebrates its role in educating officers for the Navy and Marine Corps since its establishment. The resolution acknowledges the academy's significant contributions to American military and public service, noting that its nearly 93,000 graduates have included one U.S. President, numerous members of Congress and governors, 73 Medal of Honor recipients, and 55 astronauts, among many others who served in major conflicts from the Civil War to recent military operations. The House of Representatives formally recognizes this milestone, honors those who died in service, and invites all Americans to celebrate the academy's accomplishments and its continued importance to the nation's defense. No funding or implementation timeline is associated with this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing appreciation for the institution.
