​CNO Recognizes Judy Van's

CNO Recognizes Judy Van's 60 Years of Service
 
Dear USNPAA Members,

As many of you know, the Association honored Judy Van Benthuysen at our 2019 reunion for her unbelievably dedicated, committed and selfless service to the Navy. After I complete my tenure as president of the USNPAA and I'm asked what was my biggest accomplishment, I will say it was seeing Judy get recognized for all that she has done during her time as a civil servant in CHINFO. She has touched countless lives—not just Sailors but mothers, fathers, grandparents, students, Navy staff members, teachers, professors, and the list goes on and on. All of us who know or have worked with Judy are very fortunate to have done so.
 
Just a few days ago the CNO, Admiral Mike Gilday, recognized Judy for her 60 years of service. I wanted to share a picture from that event.
 
I hope everyone is beginning to enjoy a return to normalcy.
 
Tom Jurkowsky
President
