From the Chief of Naval Operations

Wherever this holiday season may find you, I offer the sincere wish that it is a time of happiness for every Navy man and woman and for your fam- ilies. The steadfast devotion to duty of our Navy people through the past year has been an important factor in enabling our nation to celebrate another peaceful holiday. Our peace is fragile and will survive only as long as we are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to sustain it. During 1977 you have demonstrated again your commitment to preserving the peace. To those of you sharing this joyful time with your families, I wish a most happy and safe holiday. To those required by duty to be separated BM1 Neiswonger wins decorating prize from loved ones at this season, I wish you a joyous reunion with them soon.
