    Lt. Col. Jeffrey Pellegrino, commanding officer, Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, and his wife chat with Sterling Cale, a former sailor and retired Army sergeant major. The Marines and sailors of MCAS celebrated the 235th birthday of the Navy in Hangar 105 with a guest speaker, food, cake cutting ceremony and performances by the U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific Band. Cale was a guest speaker at the event. Cale, 89, was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. Under the Continental Congress, the Continental Navy was born on Oct. 13, 1775, and in 1798, the Department of the Navy was established. Every year, sailors observe Oct. 13 as its annual birthday and celebrate with a birthday ball.
