Actor Visits the "Big E"

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. sign an autograph for Master Chief Master Diver James Mariano.


One of my favorites (Show me the money!!!) Cuba Gooding paid a visit the the carrier USS Enterprise recently:

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. took time out of his busy schedule Jan. 17 to visit USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and show his appreciation to Sailors and acknowledge their hard work.

The actor, who starred in the films �Jerry Maguire� and �Men of Honor,� toured the ship and signed autographs for Sailors and their families.

�It was exhilarating,� said Gooding. �It just makes you emotional to think about the sacrifice Sailors have given for my freedom. I promised myself a long time ago that I would never take that for granted.�

Gooding was quick to thank the Sailors serving on board Big E for all they do.

�I want to say thank you for everything and know that all of your sacrifices, the fact that you stay away from your families for long periods of time, are not lost on me,� Gooding said. �I�m an actor who gets to express his art with freedom of speech, and the fact that you guys protect that brings a tear to my eye.�
