So far none of the victims publicly named in the attack yesterday at NAVSEA in the Washington DC Navy Yard are SNAME members. This is a relief for the many friends and colleagues that we have in this community. Still, the Chesapeake section and others have a grass roots effort underway to reach out to members who have some connection to NAVSEA and been directly or indirectly affected by these events.
At the same time our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected together with their families and loved ones. The correct details always take a little time to come out, so we will continue to watch for developments and will advise of any changes that may take place. Please let us know if you hear any news in the meanwhile.
