Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class David Price, son of James and Wanda Price of Broussard, recently deployed to the Arabian Gulf, while assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77).

The move to the Arabian Gulf will provide the president additional flexibility should military options be required to protect American lives, citizens and interests in Iraq.

Price, along with approximately 6,000 other Sailors spent the last year conducting numerous training and certification exercises to establish a safe, cohesive organization capable of performing a wide variety of missions across the globe, ranging from counter-piracy and ground support operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

Price is a 2007 graduate of Westgate High School, New Iberia.
