The mother of missing Navy sailor John Hoagland remembered him during a segment on CNN’s « New Day. »
Kimball talked to CNN moments after the Navy informed her that the hunt for missing sailors was now considered a « recovery » mission instead of search and rescue.
But somehow the grieving mother found a way to share a laugh with anchor Alisyn Camerota.
« Every place he went, he sent me pictures, » she said. « I can’t tell you how many pictures I have of the ocean! »
When Camerota asked if Kimball would like to hear from President Donald Trump, she said no.
« I would rather hear from the Navy giving me some kind of closure than from the President, » she said.
US military divers continue to search the flooded areas of the McCain for the missing sailors while ships and planes scour the nearby seas.
