For 244 years the Navy has been a global force, ready to fight, respond, and defend wherever there is need. Today we renew our commitment to be ready, remember those who forged our legacy, and honor our loved ones who stand beside us. Happy birthday, shipmates!
#244NavyBday
Met with Arizonans from all over the state who are serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. They’re working hard to protect freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz where one-third of the world’s oil supply travels through.
I met many young men and women including several West Virginians who are making sacrifices every day to keep us safe, and I am grateful for their service.
