The USS Enterprise (CVN 65), the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, commemorates a name which has been a continuing symbol of the great struggle to retain American liberty, justice and freedom since the first days of the American Revolutionary War. She is the eighth ship of the Fleet to carry this illustrious name that is literally defined as boldness, energy, and invention in practical affairs.
The ships named Enterprise have fought in some of the greatest naval battles in the history of the United States. These ships were manned by Sailors committed to victory under the harshest of conditions.
The Sailors onboard Enterprise are part of that proud tradition and heritage of the men and women who have gone before them and live up to their legacy with honor, courage and commitment.
I display this picture of the Enterprise as my way to honor our US Navy in remembrance of the time that I served from 1951 to 1955. I served through seven cruses aboard the USS Valley Forge CV-45 during that period of time.
