– HMCM John Mooers reads the birthday message from the Secretary of the Navy. “From Secretary of the Navy, to our Sailors, civilians, families and friends,” Mooers read. “For 243 years, the Navy has been a global force, forged from the sea, united in a common purpose, ready to fight, respond and defend whenever there is a need. Because of your hard work and dedication, the foundation for restoring readiness and increasing lethality has been set.”
