From the April 5th Sacramento (Ca) Bee "U.S. Navy Commemorates Bicentennial of the War of 1812" by US Fleet Forces Command.
This anniversary is of particular importance to this branch of our Armed Forces as the Navy demonstrated itself as a force to be reckoned with. The Navy began its 4-year observance on March 13th at the Library of Congress. There will be a series of public events over the course of the bicentennial.
One has already concluded, the Navy Week in New Orleans. Others:
2013 The Battles of Lake Erie and Champlain
2014 Fort McHenry and the Star-Spangled Banner
2015 The Battle of New Orleans..
