Two weeks ago, I was privileged to land on board the USS John C Stennis in a C-2A Greyhound. As I have many times for the last two years, I thought of Ryan as I landed aboard the carrier, in meeting the young sailors and marines, aviators, LSOs and all the staff aboard the ship. In a private moment, I was allowed to enter the restricted area just below the landing zone where I said a prayer for Ryan's family, Andrea and Ian, before throwing into the sea our Higher Power Aviation honor coin. That coin expresses our values of training, excellence, innovation, joy, relationships, character and serving which Ryan embodied so well. Thank you, Ryan, and all the servicemen and women who have purchased and protected my freedom, some at the cost of their lives.
