 Congratulations to the recently announced Sailors of the Year. Since 1972, the Navy has recognized the outstanding performance of sailors across the fleet and each year commands review the records of these sailors focusing on professional as well as personal conduct. This year, the Sailors of the Year were honored by Mike Stevens at the U.S. Navy Memorial. It's a distinct pleasure to honor four of our best sailors who are selected to be pinned as chief petty officers today, but we should remember that we are quiet, humble, servant leaders. By quiet, I don't mean that we don't communicate. As a matter of fact, I expect you to be very vocal and communicate. But what I ask is that you let your actions speak for your words, not your words speak for your actions.
