APRA HARBOR (NNS) – The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and guided missile destroyer USS Pinckney (DDG 91) arrived in Guam for a port visit Feb. 7.
It’s an overcast and cloudy day, Aug. 5, 2015, and Aerographer’s Mate 1st Class Robin Day and her husband are driving in their car, quietly. He holds her hand, tightly. Day has battled thyroid cancer for the last several months. They are on their way for Day to receive a thyroidectomy, to have the cancer removed from her neck.
Amongst the echoing chatter of voices, the rattling jolt of aircraft landing overhead, and the constant stream of metal forks scraping on plastic plates, Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) try their best guess at sorting their trash on the mess decks. One Sailor in particular found a way to take the mundane and turn it into something much more.
