On July 3, 1954, Congress made it official: Boston would be the home port of “Old Ironsides” forever. But Boston already knew. USS CONSTITUTION was built here. And tonight, on the eve of America’s 250th birthday, Boston turns toward the celebration to come. Tomorrow, "Old Ironsides" sets out in Boston Harbor. America's Ship of State. Built here. Home here. Belonging to all of us. A tradition carried forward. A nation's story still underway. Happy 250th to the United States of America.
