🇺🇸 WELCOME HOME! 🇺🇸
Our nephew Branden and his shipmates finally arrive back on US soil this afternoon!
After being deployed on July 4th, 2025 (America’s 249th B-day!), he and his shipmates have had quite the experience the last year and a half:
-They left San Diego in Nov of 2025 on what would become the MODERN MARITIME RECORD for most consecutive days at sea (264)!
-They spent ~7 months parked at the enemy’s front door, with a giant bullseye on their ship…
-And now they’re arriving safely back in the US; with a short leave that allows him just enough time for him to catch a flight and get to his sister’s wedding on Saturday!
A big welcome home and thank you to him and all of the servicemembers around the globe doing their jobs each and every day!
