Events

Today, 9/11 Tom Metzger and Jeff Gumaer presented a check on behalf of the Philadelphia Council of the Navy League of the United States to the commanding officer and crew of the USS SOMERSET LPD 25 .

We met with Gordie Felt of the families of Flight 93.
It was as always a moving experience to pay tribute to the heros of Flight 93.

Please join us for a moment of silence as we remember the lives of the 40 heroes of Flight 93 who gave their lives 25 years ago to prevent an attack on Washington D.C.
