Homecoming Sailors of USS Carl Vinson Proud to Make History

Daddy!   Say, we love America! We love Daddy!   I can’t tell you what a privilege that it’s been to command these young men and women.  The work that they have done across the entire spectrum of Maritime Operations has been absolutely phenomenal.  It absolutely is historic and we are proud of that.  I think everybody was pretty stoked.  I think that first week of May everybody was sitting there and looking around very proud to be part of that piece of history.   We are very proud but very nervous at the same time.  I know how important it was to them and for everyone in this country so we are really very very proud, happy and grateful.  Justice has been served, finally.   Right now it’s a very exciting time for America.  It’s a very exciting time for the Navy.  It’s just great.  An honor, a privilege to be a part of the USS Carl Vinson and the US Navy.   Born February 14th, so I’m at a loss for words.  Honestly, I’ve seen pictures of him but nothing compares to seeing him in person.    Welcome Home April.   Your Daddy’s right over there.  You ready?   Here you go big guy.   I’m glad you didn’t cry on me.  At first I thought you were going to cry on me when you seen me.    When we heard that, we heard it on the news.  We heard the name of the ship and we couldn’t believe she was actually on there.  I couldn’t wait to hear from her.  Words can’t describe how proud I am of my daughter right now.   Welcome home sailors!
