 Shemaitz, CNO Gilday here with my wife Linda. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the achievements of Hispanic Americans and recognize their countless contributions to our Navy and to our nation. Hispanic Americans are part of the very fabric of our Navy and are a vital component of every command, whether it's sea, or on shore, as an active reserve for civilian sailor. Throughout our Navy's nearly 245-year history, generations of Hispanic Americans have played a vital role in making our Navy and our nation strong. And today, they are our largest minority group in our Navy with approximately 60,000 active and reserved sailors who serve throughout the fleet. Hispanic sailors have a proud tradition and heritage of service, and their stories represent a steadfast commitment to the Navy's core values of honor, courage, and commitment. Hispanic Americans like Admiral David Ferrigan, rear Admiral Cristina Alvarado, and McPawn Joe Campa have left an indelible mark on our Navy and exemplify the innovative spirit of our sailors. Well said, Linda. Thank you, shipmates, and we'll see you in the fleet.
