The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the enthusiastic support of President Theodore Roosevelt. Since its founding, the Navy League has promoted the need for strength in American sea power and has grown to become the foremost citizens' organization to serve, support and stand with all U.S. Sea services - the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and U.S. Flag Merchant Marine. Decade after decade, the Navy League has demonstrated its leadership in advocating superior sea power to safeguard U.S. national security, protect American economic interests and ensure freedom of the seas.
The Placer County Council was chartered by the Navy League on December 4, 1956. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 68-0414086) and we currently have approximately 135 members located throughout Placer and neighboring counties. We are Citizens in Support of the Sea Services, which makes us unique among military support organizations in that you do not have to have served in uniform to be a member.
