William,

Any news from your son yet? Just want you to know that you have been on our hearts and minds. You may want to contact either the ombudsman or the Public Affairs Officer of his ship to see what they can tell you. They are very helpful in these situations. 

Mark, 

Thanks for sharing all of the info and pictures

 

Grandpa, 

Thank you for your encouragement.

 

We can all be proud of our Sailors. They're a magnificent group of men and women.

We have been in touch with James. It is a relief to email with him and find out they are OK. Like he said "I don't mind giving up my weekend to help save lives" They have the right attitude.

We just spoke again with our son via text. He just finished an overnight watch. They are tired. Watching the television like we are and waiting. For anyone who is concerned, the base & everyone on it are fine.
