 Shipmates, C&O Gilday here with my wife, Linda, to wish you happy holidays and to express her thanks for what you do day in and day out for our Navy. While this year is different than years past, it's especially important for us right now to take time and focus on what really matters families, friends and loved ones. We could not be more proud of how each and every one of you, active and reserve, uniform and civilian, have so resolutely stood the watches past year. There is no doubt our success is due to the personal dedication and the sacrifice of each and every one of you and the support of your families has been absolutely critical. During this holiday season, please know that the Navy is grateful for you and your family's service and let's take time to remember those deployed around the world, far away from their loved ones. To all of our sailors, civilians and to your families, happy holidays.
