Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Constitution of the Naval Order of the United States: With Roll of Officers and Companions on March 1, 1897 The Naval Order Of The United States developed from an informal gathering, in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1890, of a few persons interested in the naval history of our country. A permanent organization was effected November 10, 1890, under the style and title of the Naval Commandery of the United States. The membership was restricted to officers and enlisted men of the Naval, Marine and Revenue-Marine services, and to their descendants, and was limited in number. This organization is believed to be the first hereditary society in which eligibility was dependent on purely naval service. At the meeting of the Commandery, held November 10, 1892, action was taken to broaden the field of the association by the formation of a National body with branches in the different States. In connection with another society of a similar character (styled the Naval Legion of the United States and since dissolved), a provisional organization was effected on June 19, 1893, and the First Congress of the Order was held in the Armory of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in Faneuil Hall, Boston, Massachusetts. At a Special Congress held August 15, 1893, the General Commandery Of The Naval Order Of The United States was fully constituted: the parent body becoming the Massachusetts Commandery Of The Naval Order Of The United States. A change was also made at the same time in the eligibility clause of the General Constitution, membership being restricted in future to commissioned officers of the Navy and Marine Corps and to their descendants. Additional changes in the Constitution have since been made in the Triennial Congress, held in Boston, on October 5, 1895.
