Rear Adm. Nathan Moore, 17th District commander, and Master Chief Phillip Waldron, 17th District command master chief, reflect on the loss of our shipmates in D17:
- Fireman Dominic Villarreal
- Ensign Theodore (Teddy) Frisk
- Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony (A.J.) Naleo
One of the ways we can help prevent suicide is by staying connected with each other. We can do that by talking to our shipmates, checking on them, and openly discussing suicide and all those effected by it.
