When Connor Nelson returned home to his apartment in Lemoore, California, after nearly 10 months aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, he was hoping for a peaceful reunion with family and a much-needed break from military life. Instead, he found a broken door and a home that had been ransacked. His car was missing from its usual parking spot, and when he tried to unlock his front door, it opened easily. Inside, he discovered that thieves had taken nearly everything—his TV, laptop, shoes, and even some fishing gear. "It's a really upsetting experience," Nelson said. Nelson's father, Justin Nelson, a 22-year Navy veteran, rushed from Minnesota to support his son. Justin understood the emotional weight of returning home after a long deployment, especially for a sailor. "It's such a bright spot in a young sailor's life to come home and relax, see family, and feel accomplished," he said. However, the break-in stripped away that sense of achievement and security. In response, the family started an online fundraiser to help replace what was stolen. As of now, they have raised more than $20,000. The USS Abraham Lincoln had been deployed in the Middle East for over nine months, with 250 consecutive days at sea. This deployment was one of the longest for the carrier and its crew. According to a letter from Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao obtained by CBS News, there were eight reported suicide attempts among service members during the deployment. The crew faced challenges such as food shortages, plumbing issues, and supply problems. The carrier and its crew were eventually relieved of duty in late August by the USS George Washington. The emotional toll on service members during long deployments has raised awareness about mental health and support resources. If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or a suicidal crisis, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by calling or texting 988.
