WASHINGTON, March 3, 2015 – The Navy Reserve is beginning a
yearlong celebration of its centennial, and Defense Secretary Ash Carter today
offered his congratulations to “this great American institution for 100 years
of distinguished service in defense of this country.”
In every conflict since World War I, reserve sailors have
served with courage and distinction, making vital contributions to the history
of the Navy and the nation, Carter said in a statement.
“That tradition continues today,” the secretary said. “I
thank each of our reserve sailors and their families for their service and
sacrifice. And I thank all the civilian employers and communities that support
our reservists.
“The men and women of the Department of Defense celebrate
the Navy Reserve's heritage this year,” Carter continued. “We salute the
reserve sailors serving around the world today. And we commend the Navy Reserve
for being ready always.”
