 Hey team, C&O Richardson and McFawn Smith here to wish you a happy birthday. Two hundred and forty-three years ago, our Navy was founded. Founded to protect America from attack, to secure our prosperity and our interests around the world and we've been doing that every day since. For over two hundred and forty-three years we've kept America safe. Your exceptional talent, dedication to duty and strength of character, you've managed to sail the seas and keep America safe. John Paul Jones once said that men mean more than guns to the rating of the ship and that's what this is about, our people. That's exactly what it's about. Think about what our people have done over our history. Think about the war of 1812, Battle of Lake Erie, Mobile Bay, Manila Bay, Midway, throughout our history our sailors have always risen to the occasion and punched above their weight when the nation called. We have in our Navy all of the creativity, innovation and any problem and any challenge it faces us, we'll meet it head on. Sail safe over the next year as we sharpen our edge to prepare ourselves for whatever comes next. Mick Pinesmith opened with a quote from John Paul Jones and I'll close with a quote from John Paul Jones, he who cannot risk will not win. This is the year that we win, wherever you are around the world, on a ship in a squadron. Take some time to think about what this year means as we go and we win it. We earn it every single day, every single watch. Our nation's security, the experiment that is democracy in the world is a fragile thing. It is not divinely ordained. We have to fight every day to protect it. Our Navy has been doing that for 243 years and we're going to do it again this year. Let's get to it.
