 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pankaw. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus joined sailors aboard USS Ross to deliver his holiday message to sailors and their families. The holidays are a time to reflect on the abundances we enjoy as a nation. Our safety, our security and our prosperity should never be taken for granted. Sailors and Marines and our soldiers, airmen and guardsmen around the world are working every day to protect our way of life and make this world a safer place. So thank you and your families for all you do for all of us. Whether they're at home with your family or overseas with your Navy Marine Corps family, Happy Holidays!
