Caption: “President Bill Clinton greets Aviation Boatswainsmate Senior Chief, Bruce Williams, while visiting the crew on board the U.S. Navy’s forward deployed aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV 62), April 17, 1996. The President took time out of his state visit to Japan, to meet with Sailors on board the carrier. ‘Your last deployment off Taiwan helped to calm a rising storm,’ Clinton said. ‘Without firing a single shot you reassured nations all around the Pacific. With the quiet power of your example you gave the world another example of America’s power and America’s character, and I thank you for that,’.
