Not because of beauty though it is ample, but because of strength and competence. Independence takes real strength. The Strength to live free and accept the responsibility of doing so. The strength to rebel when necessary, and to tow the line when needed. It is my immense pleasure and honor to promote Commander Anassasi to the rank of Captain.
