Yes and no. Yes because I was part of a piece of history. Not just the war. Yes because I got to see all that goes on, on an aircraft carrier and what it takes to make it all work. (Organized Chaos sums it up best). No, becuase of the $ value.

Yeah that is what they started calling them on the boat. Because of France stirring the pot during all of the leading up to the war.

Liberation of Iraq: Priceless

Glad to see you back safe.
