Home Safe

My brother has safely landed in Hawaii to mark the last leg of his current stint overseas. Because of all his hard work (extremely proud younger sis, here) Aaron was able to fly to Hawaii ahead of the ship and meet his wife Niki for a vacation and some R & R.  Then for the last leg home, he will then meet up with two of our uncles who are participating in a tiger cruise.

A long-standing Navy tradition, "Tiger Cruise" represents a unique opportunity for family and friends of the crew to experience shipboard life firsthand.  They will ride with Aaron the short distance from Hawaii back home to San Diego, CA.  While Hawaii is not his last port of call, it symbolizes the end of his deployment and being back in US waters.  

We are so happy to know that Aaron is home safe and thank him and his fellow shipmates for their service.  Welcome home!
