 Shipmates, Teresa, Bebou and I would like to wish you and your family the very best this holiday season. You are all members of our great Navy family, and we are proud of your selfless dedication and the outstanding job you do every day in keeping our Navy the best it's ever been. Thank you to all of our families for standing by your sailor and the wonderful service and support you provide our Navy and Nation. We hope you enjoy the holidays, and if you're deployed, know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Please stay safe and continue to look out for one another. Celebrate responsibly and stay vigilant if you're traveling. Be proud of your accomplishments this year, and I look forward to starting off 2013 with you as we continue on the path of excellence. From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, and I'll see you in the fleet. Thank you.
