DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Dearest Navy Moms,

I am so glad that your sailors from the USS Boxer are returning home. As you speak with them please let them know that I am proud of them and that I pray that they will obey the safety rules of the ship and move in pairs while they are deployed. 

I am honored to know each of you and…

Dear Navy Moms,

 

First I want to take a moment to thank every one of you for the service of your sons, daughters and spouses. It is important to reinforce how important our military personnel are to the United States and her citizens all over the world. I am very grateful to be amongst this great community of people who have joined together to honor those who work everyday to insure our freedoms and our liberties. It is my hope that this entry will be an encouragement to all…

Getting through phase one

I want to express my feelings but there is so much going on right now and I want to honor my son when my mind is a bit clearer. My son, Matthew James Bergman, will forever be the beat of my heart and my reason to believe in everything that is good and honorable. I hope everyone will bear with me as we endure his loss and I appreciate everyone who is offering support in this great time of need.

 

God Bless,

Melody Paxton

I just wanted to let you know that I still think of Matthew. Doing the memory cards and looking at his photos made me feel like I knew him just a little.  I hope you are doing OK.  Please know that there are many of us here for you if you need us.  I lost my best friend from high school last week. I feel cheated, especially since we were not able to connect after finding each other on FB.  I like to think that my friend and Matthew are both reaching out across the space to let us know that they are OK too.

Regards, BQB.
