Unfortunately, I had to bow out early, but I wanted to congratulate all of you!
When I created this event I had a passion and a desire to recognize fleet members who go above and beyond for our fleet every day. I've seen some pretty awesome acts of kindness throughout my years here and in my humble opinion, it's people like you that make us not just a regular run-of-the-mill fleet, but a real community that I have been honored to be a part of. If you were nominated someone (or many!) out there recognizes you. They see what you bring to the fleet and they believe in their hearts that you deserve that praise and recognition. There were even some that didn't make it on the list that I feel have done exceptionally well!
At the end of the day there's one component to all of this that makes this fleet what it is today -- our members. Thank you for making this another fantastic adventure for us all!
I'd also like to thank Dex a million times over for carrying the torch on this event. I am truly grateful and proud to know that it will still continue on!
Congratulations once more to all and I look forward to seeing you at the next ceremony! :)
