SUBJ/HAPPY THANKSGIVING

RMKS/1.  Happy Thanksgiving to the Navy-Marine Corps Team of Sailors, 
Marines, civilian employees, and families.

2.  This holiday encourages us to take stock of and reflect on all that we 
have to be grateful for.  For me, doing so is simple:  I am forever grateful 
for the honor to serve as your Secretary of the Navy.  You stand the watch in 
support of one another and in defense of our Nation.  I could not be more 
proud of all that you accomplish.  Please accept my profound and humble 
thanks.

3.  A very special thank you goes out to our teammates deployed and underway.  
While you may not be able to gather at the table with your families this 
year, please know that the Nation's thoughts, prayers, and thanks are with 
you, wherever you find yourselves.

4.  Please check in and say thanks to one another and your families during 
this Thanksgiving weekend.  Let them know you care and that you are grateful 
for them, as I am grateful for each of you.

5.  Thank you for everything you do.  Happy Thanksgiving.

6. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.//
