(Left to right) Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Gerado Taddei and Yeoman 2nd Class Andrew Thompson fly the "First Navy Jack" to start the New Year on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Rear Adm. Brian Fort, commander, Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, directed the base headquarters building to fly the "First Navy Jack" throughout 2018 to honor the 17 shipmates we lost on USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) and USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) and as a reminder that our warfighting edge is not only back but renewed and forged with purpose.
