From the FRONT: 23 May


(From Military Sealift Command HQ): Thank you so much for the two Keurig coffee machines sent to USNS SUPPLY and the Military Sealift Command Headquarters.  We greatly appreciate the coffee machines. USNS SUPPLY (T AOE 6) is a Fast Combat Support Ship with more than 150 Civilian Mariners onboard.  They are conducting operations in the Red Sea and Eastern Mediterranean supporting a US Navy Carrier Strike Group.  They provide food (both fresh and frozen), stores, parts, ammunition and fuel to Navy Ships to enable them to stay at sea and not have to go into port to replenish stores.  They have been on-station and deployed for nearly 7 months.
 
As for the Headquarters, my team certainly appreciates the machine [we donated a Keurig to them as well] as we manage 16 ships around the world conducting operations in all theaters with the commensurate number of meetings and calls supporting 24 hour global operations. 
 
Thank you again for your support the Navy and CIVMAR  Sailors and government civilians. Sincerely, Joe
