Here on the USS San Jacinto, we recently received a shipment of care packages from y’all at Operation Gratitude. This little ray of sunshine was much needed, as the unfortunate spread of the Coronavirus has stopped all of our possible port visits. As of right now, we have been underway for 61 consecutive days, and are expecting another 50+ before we get a break. Like I said, much needed. We are all so thankful for your generosity. What you do makes what we do a little easier, and it means a lot to every one of us. Please keep being great.
Very Respectfully,
ET2(sw) BP
