Finally someone passed along the idea with SANDY to offer the military ships.
3 AMPHIBIOUS SHIPS ON ARRIVAL!
(USS WASP, and two others.WASP is very similar to the ESSEX and BONNIE RICHARD, over in SASEBO.)
Ive trained with them.Never thought I'D need or my area would need heros like that, like I trained to be. Maybe I was supposed....well a lot of things were supposed to be in SASEBO. I cant change what happened when I transfered to the IKE.
INGRATEFUL BASTARDS comes to mind but I will save the insults. The NAVY is ran from BIG NAVY, a ADMIRAL in DC who cares more about WARmonging than PEACE it seems.Even amongst the ranks.
What is soon to come will mirror what happened in BANDE ACEH, for those that dont know, heavy downpours hit the area in the Philipines very hard massive landslides occured, many homes and people were wiped out.(2005) I still have pics from there (no I dont keep the gory shots, but thanks for the view)
I was there, aboard the ESSEX, much like those three ships coming here to New York/Jersey areas. I was on deck loading helocopters and people...unloading the ammo crates to replace them with blankets and rags and such. Congress says it wasnt OIF, I beg to differ. They also say we didnt earn the humanitarian award TWICE, AGAIN, I beg to differ.I WAS ON DECK.
You cant HELP PEOPLE in DIRE NEED by whatever means necessary and NOT get that award.EVERY person on deck, between decks, counts.EVERY ONE.
WHOEVER said ONE PERSON CANT make a difference was LYING. ONE is a part of a TEAM, which gets the JOB DONE.
Yes, this isnt some 'just paint the walls mission' at some School which will get slammed with water and high tides later on.(why they dont use Latex paint, I dont know) THIS is REALLY SAVING PEOPLE. REBUILDING PLACES.
