Happy to see this in my email just now. I started running down this line since I got frustrated at decisions being made on absent evidence, on research that had lots of room for improvement, or assumptions that were based on male SMs serving in the Army.

We will never forget.
Twenty-five years ago, a generation of Sailors answered the call for a day they'll never forget.
Today, a new generation stands the same watch for a day many never saw.
