190515-N-YG104-0013 ARLINGTON, Va. (May 15, 2019) Logistics Specialist 1st Class Sindy Johnson, Navy Shore Sailor of the Year, left, and Builder 1st Class Luke Johnson, U.S. Fleet Forces Sailor of the Year, place a wreath near the columbarium honoring Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Bill Plackett, the sixth MCPON, at Arlington National Cemetery during Sailor of the Year (SOY) week. The program was established in 1972 by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Whittet to recognize an individual Sailor who best represented the ever-growing group of dedicated professional Sailors at each command and ultimately the Navy. SOY finalists participated in a variety of leadership, naval heritage and team-building events throughout the week around Washington D.C.
