Even though this is April Fools' Day, that's not April fools.
I'm proud of you and the work you do, and so is the Nation you have chosen to serve.
I believe that freedom, like anything sweet, is hard to take from people once they have had a taste of it.
Whatever form it takes, your leadership will make an important contribution not only to the Navy but to the security of our great Nation.
