USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53)

Guided Missile Destroyer

As we all prepare to Celebrate Easter 2007 I would like to take the time to remind you, one and all that we can and also should be extremely Grateful and Thankful for the Young Women and Men who are stationed in Harms Way. These Heroes of the United States Navy, the United States Marines, the United States Army, the United States Air Force and the United States Coast Guard along with all of the members of the National Guard are allowing us to enjoy our Freedoms as they defend us all in the War on Terrorism.

Please remember them in your Prayers and Concerns as you gather with your respective families to Celebrate this Easter. Many of these Heroes cannot be with their families and it is my prayer today that they return home safely. In the meantime, I encourage you to log on to Operation Dear Abby to send your own note of Thanks and Gratitude:
