MANCHESTER – Due to the many duties a sailor is responsible for, sometimes they cannot visit their loved ones during the holidays.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Isaiah Johnson, who is a Manchester native currently serving in the United States Navy, is celebrating the holidays this year aboard USS Harry S. Truman with his fellow sailors.
“The holidays are when I can spend time with my family and show them I care,” Johnson said.
Johnson wants his family back home to know he misses them dearly, especial during this season.
“I miss you and love you,” Johnson said.
Johnson, as well as other sailors in the U.S. Navy, know they are a part of a tradition giving unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs and humanitarian assistance.
“Serving in the Navy means I am making a change in the world,” Johnson said.
