 The crew of USS John C. Stennis celebrated Thanksgiving Day while at sea November 24th. John C. Stennis entertained sailors with a tailgate party, football games, various competitions and a Thanksgiving meal. Command events such as this, they improve morale because it takes your mind off the work that we have to do and we're able to do kind of some fun things and enjoy a game, stuff that you'd be able to do when you're at home and really allows us to work harder I think because you get that time to relax. John C. Stennis sailors may not have been able to enjoy the holiday with their families, but the ship did make the best effort it could to make the sailors feel at home. Reporting from onboard USS John C. Stennis, I'm Seaman William Ford.
