keel laying:
A: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus name the first lady as the submarine's sponsor. She is from Illinois and supports military families. Cmdr. Tamara Lawrence, the secretary's spokeswoman, said it was a natural selection because Obama embodies "the qualities we hold dear in the military" – a sense of service and selflessness.
Yeah, Commander, when I think of
qualities we hold dear in the United States Armed Forces, you know, like self-sacrifice, love of country, etc, Michelle Obama comes
right to mind.
