Today, I salute Wichita Navy Seaman Aidan Jones. Aidan serves on board the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington. The George Washington Carrier Strike Group is conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premier forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific region, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet. Thank you, Aidan, for being “Wichit-awesome,” and THANK YOU for your service.
