Dear Mrs. Anderson,

I would like to extend my personal gratitude to you for the superb support you provided to me , my staff, and our ships during Fleet Week 2008 Port Everglades, 28 April-2 May 2008. I am particularly appreciative of your positive attitude and outstanding initiative.

The assistance you provided with coordinating the Damage Control Competition was nothing short of outstanding! I know our Sailors enjoyed the different drills which included hose rigging, dress-out, and search and rescue to name a few. As you know, DC Training is a vital part of the Navy and Coast Guard.

Karen, this week would not have been a success without you and your expertise. You can be justifiably proud of that. Your hard work and dedication is noted and appreciated. I commend you for a job exceptionally “well done!”

Sincerely,

D.P. Holloway, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy
