Donn was invited to visit the USS Nimitz as part of a special program to bring Distinguished Visitors (educators) onboard to experience a small bit of life on an aircraft carrier.  The goal was for these educators to bring some of their experiences back to the students to encourage them to consider the military as a career choice and support the Navy's missions in many ways.

Here is a link to Donn's photo album of this visit.
