Congratulations to the Junior and Senior Tradespersons of the Year, Gisaun Brothers and Meaghan Parish, both from Colonna's Shipyard! These two excellent tradespersons have gone above and beyond for the industry, helping be the strength behind the fleet.
Happy #NationalSkilledTradesDay! ๐ ๏ธโ๏ธ To the thousands of men and women on the Virginia waterfront: thank you. You are the backbone of our national defense. Itโs time to treat the skilled trades as the premier career path it is.
