Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the crew of the USS Frank Cable, a submarine tender homeported at Naval Base Guam. The Frank Cable and her crew were selected for the 2018 Secretary of the Navy's Environmental Award for large deck combatants in recognition of the crew's efforts. The Frank Cable crew have worked diligently to minimize waste aboard and helped to clean up local communities, both on Guam and where they are deployed abroad. Caring for our island and conserving Guam's natural resources are among my top priorities, and I am immensely proud of the Frank Cable crew's achievement. The Secretary of the Navy's award this year, plus a second award to the USS Frank Cable, the 2017 Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Excellence Award, are examples of the partnership between the U.S. military and the people of Guam that we need. I, again, applaud the USS Frank Cable crew on their awards, and I hope that the military will continue to act as responsible stewards of our island. ____________________”
