Travis, you will be deeply missed by not only Zack and I but the entire crew you worked with. So many good times I reach back in my memory have you in it.

BM2 Travis Wilson, or “Boatsâ€, as I knew him was a good man, a patriot, and a great shipmate. We had some meaningful talks on the bridge of the Arleigh Burke as he stood the watch. I pray for his family and hope Travis rests eternally in peace.
Fair winds and following seas, shipmate.
