Celebrating 249 Years of Independence! USS Constitution got underway today in honor of Independence Day, proudly sailing through Boston Harbor with our crew and special guests aboard. As “Old Ironsides” cruised past city landmarks, we were reminded of the strength, sacrifice, and spirit that forged our nation. Today, we reflect not only on our beginnings, but also on the generations of Americans—military and civilian alike—who have upheld the ideals of liberty, justice, and self-governance. From the Continental Navy to today’s Armed Forces, we carry that legacy forward with pride, purpose, and a resounding HUZZAH! Happy Independence Day from the crew of USS Constitution! #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #USSConstitution #OldIronsides #249YearsStrong #USNavy #BostonHarbor #SailBoston #AmericanHistory #Huzzah
