Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
President Ronald Reagan

Maiden voyage? How many ladies sailed and how many will leave afore the cruise is over.

May God speed her on her way. May all the Angels protect and defend her!
May "The Big Boss Man" know of her greatness.

Years have passed since my Navy days, but I'll tell you what, this ship stirs my heart. This is one old conservative that would love to be part of her crew!
She bears the name of the greatest president of modern times. How proud I'd be to wear THAT name on my shoulder. I envy the sailors lucky enough to be part of her crew.

Mr. Kraft, tear those terrorists down.

God's speed to all our Sailors and Marines on board the proud carrier!
To: rmlew
I think so too. Hopefully the next gen DDX's and Virginia class subs are in the planning for the group.

The sub will be joining them from Pearl.

Thanks for posting this.
My baby brother is on this ship. God give him the talent and wisdom to do the right things at the right times and stay safe. I know he will though, he's a complete professional.
His little boy and his wife are missing him terribly already. By the time he gets back, his boy will be two and his wife will be in her sixth month of pregnancy.
I have retired from the Navy, but I wish I were there with him. I guess I say that becuase deployments are easier in hindsight than they were in real time.
Good luck Brother

I figured it would have a sub in the carrier battle group most CBG have at least one or two fast attack subs.Out of sight, out of mind....

Thank you for your service and I thank your brother also.
I spent 18 years in the navy and did 4 1/2 Med Cruises, 1 North Atlantic, and 2 WestPacs. The first couple cruises were pretty exciting - going to places you have never been before, etc. However, by the time of my last WestPac - 92-93 onboard the USS Chosin, I was pretty much bored with them. At the end of the WestPac, I vowed if I ever served onboard another ship, it would be out of NORVA. I got tired of visiting ports where people still lived in grass huts - Tarawa!
Again, thank you to you and your brother for your service.
