Sailors celebrate Black History Month in South China Sea
It’s always an honor to connect with our Armed Forces Personnel and even more special when we can in some way, share common moments with them no matter where they are or how fleeting they might be. Today, we recognize a few of those men and women from the U.S. Navy, serving in the South China Sea as they celebrate Black History Month. Thank you to the Navy Outreach Program for sending these along!!!
