Monday, May 25, is Memorial Day. It’s an opportunity to pause and reflect on the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms Americans enjoy.

For shipbuilders, this solemn holiday also is a reminder that generations of sailors will serve on the aircraft carriers and submarines we build. We owe it to them – and their loved ones – to ensure we deliver quality work that will keep them safe as they go into harm’s way to protect fellow Americans.
