Statement from Acting Secretary of the Navy on Recent Attacks on Naval Installations

06 December 2019
Our entire Navy and Marine Corps team is struck and deeply saddened by the attacks within our own naval family over the past several days.

Our entire Navy and Marine Corps team is struck and deeply saddened by the attacks within our own naval family over the past several days, at Little Creek, Virginia, last week, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Wednesday, and today in Pensacola, Florida. These acts are crimes against all of us. Our prayers are with the families of the fallen and with the wounded. It is our solemn duty to find the causes of such tragic loss and ceaselessly work together to prevent them. Let us make concerted efforts to care for the families of those lost, and those wounded, visibly and not.  Let us shepherd them through these first moments of despair, and make them, and our greater Naval family, whole and strong.
