Celebrate with us and honor the US Navy and Navy SEALs in a unique event that takes place on the former grounds of the closed Navy Base now known as Baldwin Park.
Did you know that Baldwin Park was once a Navy Recruit Training Center AKA: RTC Orlando? The Recruit Training Center (RTC) officially closed on March 31, 1995. During its existence more than 652,000 recruits graduated from RTC. Little remains to commemorate the effort made by the many young men and women at RTC who made the transition from civilians to dedicated, patriotic and “squared away” Sailors. We are on a mission to bring the Lone Sailor Navy Memorial to Blue Jacket Park, Orlando, FL, the site of the former RTC “Grinder” and USS Blue Jacket.
This annual event will not only honor the Navy, but will also continue to bring awareness to the closed RTC Orlando and soon to be Lone Sailor Navy Memorial.
