On Oct. 31, 2015, the Navy’s newest destroyer, the USS Rafael Peralta, was christened at Bath Iron Works. The story of the namesake of the United States Navy’s newest Maine-built destroyer would be inspiring at any time.

Every November 11, 2015, we join together to recognize and thank all the men and women who have served in our armed forces for their unwavering commitment to our country.
