His successes in guiding the fledgling naval forces of the colonies proved key to the survival of General Washington's forces and to their ultimate victory.</div> <bR> <div> In 2003 our Order will give special recognition to this true hero of our Country on the 200th anniversary of his death. It would be a fitting tribute to his memory if the United States were to issue a stamp in recognition of his naval feats. It is for those achievements that he received the 1st Commission from Congress and is considered the Father of the United States Navy.</div> <bR> <div> I share this appeal with Members of Congress and those members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians nationwide who hope, in due course, recognition is given to this son of Erin for his services in the cause of freedom and justice, which lead to the birth of this great nation. </div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
