John Rice Carter said "I rise today to honor Rear Admiral Jay Clark. On February 5, Rear Admiral Clark assumed command of the Carrier Strike Group One based in San Diego, California. Rear Admiral Clark is a Pembroke, Georgia, native and graduate of Bryan County High School. He was previously the director of the Navy's Culture and Force Resilience Office and commanding officer of the USS Roosevelt, among other prestigious positions. His continued service to our Nation is indicative of South Georgia's broader commitment to serving our country and its Navy. Carrier Strike Group One has a deep history of protecting our Pacific coast and broader interests abroad. Recently, CSG-1 conducted strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, protecting American shipping in the Red Sea. Today, we celebrate Rear Admiral Clark's achievements and wish him and Carrier Strike Group One the best in their next deployment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
