When loved ones are serving far away from home or keeping an eye on us from above, this time of year can be difficult. We are reminded of our pride and love by empty spaces. Nevertheless, we come together, pay tribute to, and celebrate the unbreakable bonds. You are seen, honoured, and never alone, military families and everyone who is missing someone special this season. From your family to ours. So far, how is Christmas going? 💁❤️🎄🌹

A major earthquake of magnitude ~7.6 hit off the northeast coast (near Aomori Prefecture / the Sanriku/Hokkaido region). This triggered tsunami warnings for coastal areas, including Aomori, Hokkaido, and Iwate Prefecture, though initial forecasts of up to 3-meter waves were later downgraded, as observed waves were around 20-70 cm at some ports. At least 23 people were injured, mostly from falling objects or structural damage; some homes lost power temporarily; and rail lines and services in the affected region have been halted or disrupted. The government and authorities have issued emergency alerts and urged coastal residents to evacuate where needed.

Thanksgiving is a special holiday for our nation.
I hope our Sailors and Marines find the time today to gather with loved ones or those in your units, crew, or the watch floor.
Freedom is not free. It is secured and sustained by men and women like you who are willing to stand the watch so others don’t have to.
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving, Sailors and Marines.
