摘要

Good Afternoon fellow submariners, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I am honored to speak to you today at this 26th annual meeting of the Naval Submarine League. To stand before such a renowned group of retired submariners is truly a humbling experience for me. It's great to see so many familiar faces, some of whom had the difficult task of mentoring yours truly over the years! I thank each one of you for your steadfast, distinguished service and continued devotion to the defense of this great nation. For the last 26 years the Naval Submarine League has been a vital part of our Submarine Force. The support provided by this great organization in raising awareness of our submarines' importance to U.S. national security is INVALUABLE in today's marketplace of ideas. Your voices and your support now about 3500 strong, help to drive the Submarine Force message home to our Navy, our public, our Nation, and our elected officials.
