Last week several Cleveland sailors were awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and one sailor reenlisted into the United States Navy.
It is never easy to answer the call of duty, and truly remarkable to answer it again. Please join us in congratulating LS1 (SW) Sean M. Taylor in his reenlistment. We commend him and his family for their unwavering service and commitment to the United States Navy.
Secondly, late last year, numerous Cleveland Sailors were temporarily assigned to ships across the Mayport waterfront to support and enhance mission readiness. These Sailors demonstrated exceptional dedication with professionalism and unwavering Navy pride, demonstrating the Cleveland fighting spirit through their integrity to Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
