Look what our "Adopt a Sailors" Are doing Go USS Rodney M. Davis..

CURRENT OPERATIONS:
9. Everett-Based Frigate Captures Cocaine Worth $90 Million
(EVERETT (WA) HERALD 08 DEC 08) ... Jackson Holtz

EVERETT - A Navy frigate based in Everett on Friday captured a fishing vessel
in the eastern Pacific that military officials say was carrying more than 4
metric tons of cocaine valued at more than $90 million.

The USS Rodney M. Davis, home-ported in Everett, was working with the U.S.
Coast Guard and the Joint Interagency Task Force-South conducting counter
narcotics operations, Navy Lt. Myers Vasquez said.

Nine suspected smugglers were arrested during Friday's incident.
Vasquez would not disclose the home-port of the fishing vessel or the precise
location of the seizure.
The Davis has a history of drug fighting work. In April 2001, the Davis
helped with the largest cocaine seizure in maritime history when sailors
boarded a fishing boat from Belize about 1,500 miles south of San Diego,
according to a Navy Web site. The fishing vessel was carrying nearly 27,000
pounds of cocaine, about three times more than Friday's seizure.

Hi Lynn, we would love to have you join the group, each month we select a different group of sailors and have adopted Sailors in Iraq, Afganistan, Kuwait and for the holidays with so many great members in the group were able to take on our first ship of Sailors!!! The USS Rodney M. Davis has almost 250 sailors that have been deployed for a number of months and won't be home for the holidays so our efforts to spread some holiday cheer to this ship has been emotionally rewarding for all involved.

Please stop by and join the group at http://www.navyformoms.com/group/mollysadoptasailorproject

Soon we will be announcing our January adoptees!
