Courage through Adversity
Bonds to span the Oceans and the ages
USS Somerset & crew, Chaplain Edwin Handley, Tom Metzger, John Pilat & family, Philadelphia Council of the US Navy League
Formed out of the twisted steel that was Shanksville Pa on 9-11-2001
Our bond runs deep like the deep blue sea.
Pictured is the Quarter Deck of the USS Somerset LPD-25 as you enter the brow on the Starboard side under the Flight Deck. A Pennsylvania state flag donated by Brian Pilat is hung in the Ships Museum that is on top of the ship aft of the pilot house.
Never Forget.
The Philadelphia Council was featured in the most recent edition of Sea Power Magazine . The article highlights the events that occurred during the first Philadelphia Navy Week since 2011.
