Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong and the free. Heed my call. Come to the sea. Come sail with me.

COMMA DI G OFFICER Every deployment is memorable, but the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2nd, made this one especially memo- rable. From the time we arrived in the Gulf of Oman on the 6th of August until we were relieved on the Ist of November, GOLDSBOROUGH was a participant in the making of history. No other crew in the United States Navy can claim to have been the first to board and seize an Iraqi vessel. No other crew can claim the distinction of having boarded and seized two Iraqi vessels. We can. Throughout the deployment you have carried out your duties with unmatched professionalism. Your perfor- mance has been all I could have asked for - and then some. Though we never saw active combat, you were ready for it, because you worked hard and trained hard to be ready. Admiral Goldsborough would have been proud of you. As one author of the sea penned, The crew is the ship and the ship is the crew. Well done. WW fffa! ' al T T I 130 uvint
