Buy that Sailor a beer! He is definately a hero in my book. 10 months at sea is something most old salties never have to do. My longest was 6.5 months during Desert Storm. I hope the crew is embellished with plenty of medals and ribbins, and choice of their next duty station. Man, I am really proud of that crew for their sacrafice to American freedom and way of life.
WOOHOO GO U.S.A
