 This week, we honor the 12 people who lost their lives during the Washington Navy Yard shooting, September 16th. Seknev honored the heroes who died during the shooting at a remembrance ceremony, June 23rd. We gather here again as a family to recognize the heroism of those we lost and the heroism that confronted evil on that day last fall. This ceremony is to recognize women and men who faced extraordinarily awful circumstances in extraordinarily heroic ways. The families of the 12 victims were honored with awards presented during the ceremony. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter.
