Navy Commendation Medal

Famous quotes containing the words navy and/or commendation:

    “I call to mind the navy great
    That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
    And how the boistous winds did beat
    Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
    Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
    Appeased the gods that them withstood.”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars, to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
