Counter-Piracy Operations

Somalia

These operations have not generated much media coverage in recent weeks, but please be aware that our U. S. Navy is still engaged in these operations off of the Coast of Africa. Our Heroes continue to be deployed in international waters to perform the missions assigned to our Navy.

I would urge everyone to continue to remember these Heroes in their daily prayers. Not only our U. S. Navy Heroes, but the Heroes in our U. S. Air Force, the Heroes in our U. S. Army, the Heroes in our U. S. Marines and the Heroes in the U. S. Coast Guard also.

Thank You!!!
