 The recent government shutdown has affected many Americans who work for the Department of Defense. Commander of U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Locklear addressed military civilians reassuring them that they are not alone through the shutdown. To our civilian members of our military, I want to say to you, we recognize the sacrifices that you're making now. And we want to let you know that you are as much a part of our success and our military team worldwide as anyone in uniform. So we're with you. We'll get through this and we'll come out on the other side and we'll be a stronger nation because of it. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
