The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) arrives in Da Nang, Vietnam for a scheduled port visit. The Carl Vinson Strike Group is in the western Pacific as part of a regularly scheduled deployment.
DA NANG, Vietnam, March 5, 2018 - The Carl Vinson Strike Group departed Da Nang, Vietnam, March 9, completing a historic visit that marked the first time a U.S. aircraft carrier has visited the country in more than 40 years.
The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) and destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) departed following a four-day port call. The strike group will continue a regularly scheduled deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.
"We feel very honored to have been part of this historic visit," said Rear Adm. John Fuller, the strike group commander. "The government and people of Vietnam extended an incredibly heartfelt welcome and made this visit one to remember."
Sailors participated in cultural and professional exchanges during community service events, sports competitions, ship tours and a formal reception aboard the aircraft carrier. Additionally, Navy musicians from the U.S. 7th Fleet Band performed free public concerts.
"I loved it. I loved the tours and I loved the food," said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Chloe Meinert, from the Carl Vinson Combat Systems Department. "I liked how enthusiastic people were with meeting us and how everyone wanted to take our picture."
Carl Vinson, America's third Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, hosted more than 1,300 guests for tours, professional exchanges and a formal reception attended by the U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Daniel Kritenbrink and Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet Vice Adm. Phillip Sawyer.

Since the 60’s on the me generation has gradually rebuilt American culture to take from others, avoid personal responsibility, and pursue self-gratification without duty.
But through it all has shone a bright spot.
America's veterans. Those who stepped up to protect and defend others. Those who gave the best years of their lives not living the good life at the mall or raking in the benefits taken from others, but raising families on meager military salaries in hard circumstances not of their own making, in order to protect others.
