ARRIVING FROM IRAQ, THE BONHOME RICHARD DOCKS AT PEARL HARBOR ACROSS FROM THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL. FAMILIES ENJOY MEETING THEIR SAILORS AND MARINES AFTER  6 MONTHS OF SEPARATION. IF YOU ARE NOT PATRIOTIC BEFORE THE SHIP PULLS IN, YOU WILL BE SHORTLY AFTER WITNESSING THIS BREATHTAKING EVENT.

Maintenance pulled together and was well rewarded.                               Great Team, This VR-61 Bunch.

I Love this Navy.                     VR-61, on our way.              Our C9 Skytrain pulling out over Mt Baker.      From Speedgraphic  to Digital          in only 42 years.     SAR MISSION in the Cascades...Follow no trail from point A to point Z...over mountains...through the valleys...find food, shelter...stay alive...point Z, the chopper will pick you up...hopefully.    "If you choose to not do this mission, the tape will self destruct in 5 seconds."
