The goal of our Blue Angels team is to inspire a culture of excellence and service in the country. We are representatives of the fleet, demonstrating the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. We're thrilled to perform demonstrations across the country, to share our Navy and Marine Corps experiences with our fellow Americans, and to bring naval aviation to communities across the country that may not have a large military presence. 2023 marks the 77th anniversary of the Blue Angels. Since 1946, we've had the honor of representing the hundreds of thousands of men and women who serve in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to audiences at home and abroad, showcasing the enthusiasm, precision and power of naval aviation. Our 143 active-duty Sailors and Marines continue the rich tradition of excellence instituted by those who served before us. Our goal for 2023 is to continue to inspire young men and women not only to pursue a career in naval aviation or the military, but to excel in all areas of their lives. Each performance offers the American public the opportunity to witness the incredible capabilities of our military serving aboard every ship, squadron and unit of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Our goal is to ensure that tomorrow's leaders are inspired and motivated by what they see our men and women accomplishing today.
