Well Commander, You've averted a world wide disaster. it looks like our job here is done. Some people wonder if the Marines still "have it." You have proven that we do.**

Your actions under fire and your control of every unexpected situation are proof that the Marines get it done. You are up for a Navy Cross, commander. My congratulations!**

No, not a salute this time. Just a hearty handshake from one leatherneck to another. Semper Fi!**
