 In the past six years, I've traveled more than 1.1 million miles, visiting sailors where they're deployed around the world, around the clock. Today, I'm in Yokosuka, Japan, on the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan, 240 years ago, October 13th. The Continental Congress founded the U.S. Navy, and it began the spirit of service. In 2011, that spirit was exemplified when Reagan answered the call when the devastating tsunami hit Japan. And that's just one example of our ships being ready around the globe and around the clock. America's Navy is where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. And so, on this 240th birthday, I want to thank all of those who serve, all your families. Thank the Reserves who are celebrating their 100th anniversary. America's Navy. Jennifer Ford is forever courageous.
