TAMPA, Fla. - The United States Navy League is deeply committed to supporting the Navy, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. To show their support, the league puts on a very special event: The Navy Ball.

"The Navy League members are mostly patriots that just love to support our military," said Jennifer Anderson, president of the Tampa Bay Navy league Council. "And here in Tampa Bay, the Coast Guard and the Navy is very important to us."

The Navy Ball is a time to rest, relax and, most importantly, honor those who have served and are currently serving.
