Petición dirigida a: United States Congress and the United States Department of the Navy
We respectfully request that the United States Congress and Department of the Navy review the reported deployment extension of the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) and consider all operationally feasible options to bring our sailors home sooner.
We recognize the importance of national security and military readiness. However, prolonged deployments can place significant physical, mental, and emotional strain on sailors and their families.
We are asking for congressional oversight, consideration of alternatives to extended deployments, improved communication with military families, and greater attention to the health and well-being of our service members.
Our sailors have sacrificed months away from their loved ones. Their welfare deserves serious consideration alongside the mission.
We ask our nation's leaders to review this extension and prioritize the safe return of our sailors as soon as operationally possible.
Razones.
I am a United States military veteran and the proud mother of an active-duty Navy sailor serving aboard the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77).
Like thousands of military families, I understand that service comes with sacrifice. I have experienced military life firsthand and understand the importance of fulfilling the mission. However, understanding military obligations does not diminish the concerns families experience when deployments are extended.
The USS George H. W. Bush Carrier Strike Group departed Norfolk on March 31, 2026. As of November 10, its sailors have been away for more than seven months.
Behind every uniform is a human being. These sailors are someone's children, spouses, parents, siblings, and friends.
Extended deployments mean missed birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, family milestones, and precious moments that cannot be recovered. They can also place additional strain on relationships, mental health, and the overall well-being of both sailors and their loved ones.
As a veteran, I understand that operational requirements sometimes change. As a mother, I also understand the uncertainty of waiting for someone you love to return safely.
This petition is not intended to undermine the Navy, its leadership, or its mission. It is intended to encourage accountability, thoughtful consideration, and appropriate congressional oversight regarding prolonged deployments.
Military readiness should include the health, resilience, and welfare of the men and women who make that readiness possible.
I am asking fellow military families, veterans, service members' loved ones, and concerned citizens to support a respectful request for review, transparency, and consideration of an earlier return when operationally feasible.
Our sailors serve our country with honor. Their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families deserve to be heard.
Supporting our troops should not end with thanking them for their service. It should also mean ensuring their well-being remains a priority.
