Father of U.S. Service Member on USS Abraham Lincoln to CNN: ‘I’ve Heard Pretty Positive Feedback About the Conditions There’ from My Child

EXCERPT:

UNKNOWN: "Well, all of us parents miss our children very much. And I know we‘re all very proud of them. As far as my particular child, I‘ve heard pretty positive feedback about the conditions there, although I noticed the sailors saying the work is repetitive, that is something that we hear a lot. And we understand that they‘re under a lot of mental stress. And I have nothing but sympathy and respect for the hardships and the stress that are inherent to the operation that they‘re conducting right now."
