Nicholas Gamiz of Albuquerque, N.M., the commanding officer of Navy Recruiting District (NRD) San Antonio, conducts a mock swear-in of Isaac Juarez during a visit by NRD Sailors at Isaac’s home. Isaac, 7, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, was presented with an Honorary Sailor Certificate, an America’s Navy ball cap, a Forged by The Sea t-shirt, a Navy Fiesta Medal, and a copy of the U.S. Constitution. “It was a highlight of my time in the Navy to honor Isaac in this way,” said Gamiz. “Isaac is truly a remarkable young man, and it is my honor to now call him a Shipmate and wish him Fair Winds and Following Seas.” NRD San Antonio’s area of responsibility includes more than 34 Navy Recruiting Stations and Navy Officer Recruiting Stations spread throughout 144,000 square miles of Central and South Texas territory.
