SECNAV Statement on Attack in Orlando, Florida

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus issued the following statement today in regards to this weekend’s attack in Orlando, Florida, that left 49 people dead and 53 people injured:

“Our thoughts are with the people of Orlando and the LGBT community as we all continue to mourn the victims of this horrific attack. We also express our profound gratitude to the police and first responders who acted with courage and professionalism to save lives and prevent even more bloodshed. No act of terror will change who we are or the values that make us Americans. Your U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps stand ready and united to protect our people, defend our nation, and to take action against those who threaten us.”
