Closer to Home

I'm your Captain

Chances are good many sailors - especially the older ones - will be humming this classic Grand Funk Railroad song.

We're all counting down with you!

Captain Brian "Lex" Luther celebrated his birthday yesterday. Today, the air wing left the USS George HW Bush, headed for home, always a powerful moment on any ship. Captain Luther wrote a very moving letter, in which he quoted his brother. I suggest you go read it.

I hope every sailor on board has family as excited as this to welcome them home.
