Sailor sends holiday greetings to Downingtown

By Rick Burke, Navy Office of Community Outreach

MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Sailors provide the Navy the nation needs from around the world. This means they do not always get to celebrate holidays with their loved ones.

Lt. Pete Crossan, a native of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, currently serving in the United States Navy at Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 in Port Hueneme, California, wishes loved ones a happy holiday.

“The holidays are always about family,” said Crossan. “Getting to spend time and celebrate with family and friends, especially when you don't see them often means a lot.”

Crossan wants family back home to know they are missed this holiday season.

“Merry Christmas!,” added Crossan. “I'll see you soon Sarah, Mom, Dad, Jack, Danny and Jamie! Go Birds!”
