I would first like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to serve this great country. I would like to thank my parents Jeff and Lucy Richards from Dalton, OH. I would like to thank my wife and children in California. I would finally like to thank all of you who care and take time out of your busy schedule to support our troops and sailors especially during the holiday period as we spend it away from our loved ones. Please take time to think about us out here on the waters. ~~Michael Jeffrey ------ Operation Specialist Chief, US Navy, Cleveland
