A couple months back they held the Carrier Classic basketball game on my son's ship the U.S.S. Carl Vinson. Evan works security on the ship and was chosen to work closely with the Secret Service to guard The President of the United States. He was assigned to make sure the President was safe. We are very honored that our son was chosen to wear a gun on his hip and guard his Commander and Chief.
As a result of all of his hard work and the hours he put in, he received a commendation for all of it. We are so proud of him and the man he has become. He thinks of it all as just a job, but the sacrifice he has made is huge. He has been gone in the Persian Gulf now longer than he has been home in the past two years. He is going to miss the birth of his first son in March. He was serving on board the Vinson while they helped immediately after the earthquake in Haiti. He was there when they went to Japan after the tsunami. He was on board when they dumped Bin Laden in the ocean.. a job?? No, so much more! We are proud of you son. We love you and miss you more than you know. God bless you and keep you safe!
