Sailors help maintain America’s advantage at sea. This means they do not always get to celebrate holidays with their loved ones.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Joseph Richards (right), a Rockford, Michigan native serving in the United States Navy as part of Amphibious Squadron 8, wishes loved ones a happy holiday.
“Holidays always mean a lot to me because they’re when the whole family gets together in one place, and I get to see everyone at the same time,” said Richards.
Richards wants family back home to know they are missed this holiday season.
“I’m definitely missing them, but I hope they have an amazing holiday season and enjoy themselves,” said Richards.
