Why being there matters

us navy alex bridgnellSAN DIEGO – Fire Controlman 2nd Class Alex Bridgnell, from Phoenix, loads dummy rounds into the Close-In Weapons System aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). Ronald Reagan is currently moored and homeported at Naval Base Coronado.

On our planet, more than 70 percent of which is covered by water, being there means having the ability to act from the sea.  The Navy is uniquely positioned to be there; the world's oceans give the Navy the power to protect America's interests anywhere, and at any time. Your Navy protects and defends America on the world's oceans.  Navy ships, submarines, aircraft and, most importantly, tens of thousands of America's finest young men and women are deployed around the world doing just that.  They are there now.  They will be there when we are sleeping tonight.  They will be there every Saturday, Sunday and holiday this year.  They are there around the clock, far from our shores, defending America at all times.
