MCPOCG Leavitt states “Sometimes we don’t know what leadership is until after we see it”

This observance runs through the month of May and celebrates the service and sacrifices of Asian/Pacific Islanders throughout the United States. 

We pursue our mission to preserve naval history in two ways, through the methods established in the Naval Order constitution and through our history preservation partnerships with other naval history organizations.

Promoting naval history increases public awareness of the battles, service and sacrifice that are part of the nation’s sea services.  

We celebrate because “it is well and fitting that the illustrious deeds of the great naval commanders, their companion officers in arms, and their subordinates in the wars of the United States should be forever honored and respected.”
