 Team jackpot it's been a long eight months and let me start off by saying that you should be proud of all the hard work You put in over the course of this deployment Each one of us took an oath to defend our country against all enemies and by now we've certainly fulfilled that promise Thanks to your efforts We traveled to the other side of the planet to answer not only the call of our own nation but of our allies as well As soon as we crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, we entered into a part of the world packed with friends and foes alike Our presence in this part of the world carries with it a significant message that for us no distance is too far No challenge is too hard and no enemy is too fearsome for America Since we've been at sea we've strengthened our bonds with other nations Sailing and training alongside each other projecting our message of peace through strength and strength through unity We received support from our families back home as they played a critical role in keeping up our morale and giving each one Of us another reason to keep fighting each day After all these long months of being excellent leaders teachers and ambassadors our leadership has but one more message for you Welcome home Avengers
