    GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba - Speaking to the troopers at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Dr. Donald C. Winter, the secretary of the Navy, explained the importance of their mission during an All Hands Call, Feb. 17.

    "You are taking part in a very technical mission," Dr. Winter said. "The leadership appreciates the sacrifices you and your families are making."

    The short meeting highlighted Guantanamo Bay's long history and long future due to its critical location and unique mission.

    Winter discussed ways the base would continue to improve through improved family housing, fitness centers and healthcare facilities. He also noted that continuing education options for troopers and their families would continue to be a priority.

    "The most important thing to me is making sure you have what you need by way of training and taking care of families," Winter said.
