Today aboard USS Constitution, we paused to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. We stand in solidarity with their families, the first responders who ran toward danger, and all who answered the call to serve in the years that followed.
Following our remembrance ceremony, we had the honor of hosting Rear Admiral Jacquelyn McClelland, Deputy Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command, and a swearing-in ceremony with Navy Talent Acquisition Group New England, where nine future Sailors took the oath of enlistment aboard Old Ironsides.
Welcome to the Navy, shipmates.
From the decks of America’s Ship of State, we remember, we reflect, and we reaffirm our commitment to resilience, unity, and the defense of freedom.
