Flinn, who serves as the Executive Officer for his unit, was thankful for all who were able to attend and was eager to share his excitement for the next chapter of his life. “Joining the Navy is a dream,” said Flinn.

To hear accomplishments by these Cadets was amazing and proves that our youth can achieve greatness.” CDR O'Neal, prior to Flinn's recognition was able to address the crown. At the conclusion of her remarks she paused, then offered a spirited, "Go Navy! Beat Army!" When asked what attending the banquet meant to him, Lt. Wojdyla replied, “It is great to see how awesome these young men are. It was an honor to be invited.”
