 The 2013 Blessing of the Fleets ceremony was held at the Navy Memorial in Washington, DC, April 13th. At the ceremony, Vice Admiral Robin Braun, Chief of Navy Reserve, honored the men and women serving in the fleet. During the Blessing of the Fleets, today we ask a special prayer because being in harm's way is part of the business. Braun also spoke about the contributions of women throughout Navy history. The opportunities for women to lead and serve have never been greater. These women, as well as thousands of others, did not have the urge to surpass others at whatever cost, but they did have the urge to serve with others at all costs.
