Shipmates, Fellow Veterans, and Friends,
As the holiday season is upon us, we extend our warmest greetings and heartfelt gratitude to all USS Intrepid Former Crew Members, and to Veterans of every branch who have served our Nation with honor.
The USS Intrepid is more than steel and rivets—it is a living legacy shaped by the courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood of those who served aboard her. From World War II through the Cold War and beyond, Intrepid Sailors and Marines stood the watch in times of global uncertainty, answering the call of duty with resolve and pride. That spirit continues to live on through each of you.
During this season of reflection and gratitude, we remember shipmates who are no longer with us. We honor their service, their sacrifices, and the enduring example they set. Their legacy remains firmly anchored in the history of Intrepid and in the freedoms we enjoy today.
We also recognize the families who stood beside us—whose love, patience, and support made our service possible. Their sacrifices are inseparable from our own.
To all Veterans, past and present, thank you for your service, your commitment, and your devotion to our Nation. You have carried forward the values of honor, courage, and commitment that define the United States Armed Forces.
As we celebrate this season of light, hope, and renewal, I wish you and your families a joyous holiday season, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, and a healthy and peaceful New Year.
Fair winds and following seas,
and may God bless you and your families.
Warm holiday regards,
Larry Arnold, Gene Austin, Al Schumacher
On behalf of the Board of Directors
USS Intrepid Former Crew Members Association
