In the brisk, rolling waves of the North Sea, Houston native Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Anthony Jones finds himself marking a unique milestone. Aboard the USS Gettysburg, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, Jones joined a lively celebration honoring shipmates who’ve spent their birthdays on duty at sea. On October 27, surrounded by camaraderie, stories, and a few laughs, Jones was far from home yet undeniably close to the heart of the Texas spirit.
