I do this by engaging in open and honest dialogue. My heart is with the Sailors on the USS George Washington, who are hurting from loss. During my visit to the ship, I wanted to learn about the difficulties our Sailors are facing - familiar to me from similar situations during my tours - and to understand their concerns.  I heard the crew that day, and far more Sailors before and since then; I am in ongoing discussions with our senior Navy leaders to share these concerns, and to ensure they are aware of the issues and their impacts on our Sailors.
