And let's hear it for the sailors of the USS Harry S. Truman.

Those who call this carrier home live by a motto that captures the spirit of America's Navy.

It's very simple.

The words, give them hell.

And we do give them hell.

For two and a half centuries, that is what every generation of American sailors have done.

You've conquered raging oceans and brave, ferocious storms to vanquish America's enemies on the high seas and distant shores.

You've beaten mighty warships into twisted wrecks of steel.

You've splintered vast armadas and sent the mangled pride of empire sinking into oblivion.

You've surged the waters thick in danger, blood, brine, and through it all, the United States Navy has kept the stars and stripes soaring high and proud above those big, magnificent waves.

You love doing it, too.

There's not a thing in the world that you'd rather do, is there?

Is there?

No.

I like your life better than mine, I have to be honest with you.

Sailing in those beautiful waters all the time, you're so lucky.

because the American sailor never quits, never fails, and never, ever lets us down.

They've never let us down.

Thank you.

Thank you.
