Lunch with Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Originally uploaded by uscgpress
I had the opportunity on Thursday to have lunch and discuss a variety of issues with ADM Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. ADM Mullen has been a friend, mentor, and counselor to me for a number of years. We have worked a number of issues dating back to our agreement to transfer Navy WPC 179 patrol boats to the Coast Guard following 9/11. He and his wife Deborah have been steadfast in their support for the men and women (and their families) of our military services. He has been tireless in attacking the vexing problems facing our forces including care for wounded warriors, diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic stress, military suicides, and support for military families.
