Under its new Sponsor-A-Service Member program, the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs put 18 visiting sailors from the USS Antietam in touch with a local family who voluntarily hosted them while the ship was in Saipan earlier this month. “I want to thank... everyone on your island paradise for making our visit ...on Saipan the best Port Call I’ve ever had - ever!” said Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, ship chaplain. “Your kindness and hospitality were like nothing we had ever experienced before.” Mite and other sailors were welcomed into the home of Noel and Rita Chargualaf, the first of Saipan residents to sign up for the program. “Every single man who participated has just raved about the wonderful time they had with the families,” said White. “You truly live in an island paradise and the people on your island are the nicest folks I have ever met.” “For the most, they were just thrilled to be around children and families.
