President Donald Trump is welcoming President Alexander Stubb and Prime Minister Petteri Orpo of Finland to the White House today. The leaders will discuss defense, trade, and economic partnerships, as well as the current state of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Today, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps begin the celebration of the services’ 250th year. The cities of Philadelphia and Camden are hosting a parade of naval ships on the Delaware River. The celebration kick-off will also include flyovers by Naval and Marine aviators. Events will occur over the coming week and month to commemorate Homecoming 250.
The Continental Congress established the Navy on October 13, 1775, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ahead of declaring the independence of the United States the following summer. They founded the Marine Corps nearly a month later, on November 10.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he hosts the Finnish president and prime minister today.
- For wisdom for Secretary John Phelan as he heads the U.S. Navy.
- For Commandant Eric Smith to be led by the Lord as he oversees the U.S. Marine Corps.
