Reagan Strike Group and American Idol have something in common...

There are more than 7,000 sailors on the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan and the six ships in its strike group! There were 7100 fans in the audience last night at the American Idol Finalle.

Not sure of the exact quote but on the American Idol finale last night, David Cook mentioned that he was singing to 7000 people. That is still LESS than there are in the Ronald Reagan Strike Group! And that crowd was huge! It really opened my eyes to all the families that are going through the same thing we are.

I wish strength, courage, and happiness to all of my fellow Reagan Strike Group Families and to all our families with a loved one deployed!
