For Barber and other sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, it was a welcome return to U.S. soil after more than nine months away from home. "It's great to be home," Barber said. "It still doesn't seem real. You send pictures, you talk, you e-mail, but it's nothing like the real thing." Hawaii was the first U.S. stop for the Lincoln and its crew of 5,000 since they left the ship's homeport in Everett, Wash., on July 20, marking the longest deployment for a nuclear- powered aircraft carrier in decades. It traveled 118,238 miles was involved in three missions, including the war in Iraq. Hundreds of family members and friends welcomed the Lincoln with cheers, leis, signs, American flags, whistling, balloons, embraces and kisses. Earlier, hundreds more across the harbor greeted the destroyer USS Paul Hamilton, part of the Lincoln battle group, as it came home from an equally long deployment. The Pearl Harbor-based Hamilton, which donned a huge plastic lei on its bow, and its crew received a hero's welcome, complete with ukulele music and hula dancers. "The spirit of aloha lives," Cmdr. Fred Pfirrman, commander of the Hamilton. "It was just fantastic, a big lump in the throat for all 330 of us." The Hamilton is credited with launching more Tomahawk cruise missiles during the war than any other ship in the theater, Navy officials said. During the war, the Lincoln's strike group flew more 1,600 missions and fired 116 I Tomahawk missiles, all without the loss of life or aircraft. Barber, who is based at Pearl Harbor, said the hardest part was not knowing when he would return. The Lincoln was heading home on New Year's Day after a six-month deployment when it was turned around and sent to the Persian Gulf. "We had some great port visits - Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan - but there's nothing like the United States," he said. http://www.nexis.com/research/search/documentDisplay?_docnum=15&_ansset=W-WA. 4/29/2003 Browse Display Page 2 of 2 After a 24-hour layover in Hawaii, the Lincoln will depart Sunday for San Diego, where it will drop off its air wing. President Bush plans to make a speech and spend the night aboard the Lincoln on Thursday, leaving before the carrier arrives in San Diego on Friday. The carrier is scheduled to return to Everett on May 6. "Your extended 10-month deployment in direct support of our global war on terrorism will be long remembered by both Central Command and the American people," Gen. Tommy Franks said in a message to the Lincoln's battle group. Roberta Ortiz couldn't wait for Lincoln to stop in California. She flew in from Albuquerque, N.M., to greet her son, Michael Ortiz, 23. "It's been torture," she said. "There were a lot of fears and a lot of prayers. I just wanted to hug him, hold him so bad." The majority of sailors aboard the Lincoln did not have any family to greet them in Hawaii. But they were happy to back in the United States and on land. "We've been out at sea for 96 days," said airman Daniel Turner, 23, of Kingwood, Texas. "It feels good to be on dry land. All you see out there is water." There were 150 babies born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Seen alypiles Navy Chaplain Lt. Charles Crane held his 2-month old daughter, Hannah, for the first time Saturday. "She looks great," he said. "I've seen pictures of her, but I still have a lot to get to know about this little girl." Also Saturday, 23 members of the Mississippi Air National Guard's 186th Air Refueling Wing returned home, having completed their combat support mission in the war in Iraq. About 200 family members and well-wishers cheered and waved flags when the plane touched down.

"He had a wonderful magnetic spirit. He had a fulfilled life, and he died doing the thing he loved. He was very patriotic. And our freedom is not free." Cpl. Jason Mileo Jason Mileo grew up in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay country, where he hunted and fished with his father and grandfather. He graduated in 2000 from Chesapeake High School in Pasadena, Md., where Principal Harry Calender remembers him as a "solid kid," who seldom missed school, got Bs in algebra, played on the golf team and loved working on the crew for the drama club. "He was one of those kids you knew would grow up to do everything right," Calender said. But something went wrong. Mileo, 20, who survived the assault on Baghdad and was in the city square when the statue of Saddam fell, was killed April 14 in friendly fire. He was mistaken for an enemy soldier. His parents, Phillip Hall and Leah Mileo Hall, of Centreville, Md., are in seclusion while the Marine Corps investigates the accident. His parents released a statement saying, "Words cannot express the sorrow we feel over the loss of our son. Jason embodied the Marine Corps motto 'Semper Fidelis.' Jason was always faithful to his friends, his family, his Marine Corps and his country. Jason died doing what he loved - being a Marine, surrounded by Marines who loved him. We will miss him dearly." http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-04-20-troops-usat_x.htm 4/30/2003 USATODAY.com - Air Force pilot died while living his dream Page 3 of 3 His grandfather, Walter Hall, of Pasadena, Md., said everyone who knew Jason will remember his fun-loving spirit and sense of humor. On the day that Baghdad fell, he said, Mileo borrowed a reporter's telephone and called his parents. "He was proud that the Marines were being celebrated and that he was there and a part of it," Hall said. No one was there to take the call, but Mileo left an upbeat message, saying he would be home soon. "We feel that his death was noble because he was a soldier who willingly went into battle to fight for freedom and liberty," Hall said. "And he fell. And he lost his life." Cpl. John Rivero John "Travis" Rivero's concerns when he deployed for the war in Iraq were less about the dangers that lay ahead than the commitment he was leaving behind: his aging grandmother. Rivero, 23, a native of Gainesville, Fla., had spent a lot of time in recent years caring for Nell McIntyre, the grandmother who helped rear him. The attention that he gave to McIntyre and her neighbors was evident in the yellow ribbons that dotted the trees in her quiet Gainesville subdivision after news arrived Friday that Rivero had been killed in a Humvee accident. Rivero, a member of the Florida National Guard, had been living in Tampa, where he attended the University of South Florida before shipping out to the Middle East. He was a gunner with the 124th Infantry Regiment from Orlando. "He had been to over four countries since he left Gainesville," Terese Strickland, his sister, told The Gainesville Sun. "He had learned so much about the world and about life. There was so much he wanted to tell me." Strickland said that she, her brother and her grandmother were brought closer together after the children's father left the family when they were young. Before moving to Tampa, Rivero had lived with his grandmother, caring for her and working part time as a maintenance man, the Sun reported. Rivero joined the service shortly after graduating from high school in 1998. He studied computer science and engineering at the University of South Florida, where he also was a member of the cheerleading team, which had been rated among the nation's top squads. Rivero was one of four people riding in the Humvee at the time of its crash; he was the only one killed. The cause of the accident is under investigation. Contributing: The Associated Press.

Roosevelt, The "Four Freedoms" Address to Congress Page 1 of 2 The "Four Freedoms" world civilizations Franklin D. Roosevelt's Address to Congress January 6, 1941 Ralph lemen Meachers Burs Chapter 36 In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want -- which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear -- which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-- anywhere in the world. That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. To that new order we oppose the greater conception -- the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear. Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change -- in a perpetual peaceful revolution -- a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions -- without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society. This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory. From Congressional Record, 1941, Vol. 87, Pt. I.

May 1, 2003, Thursday, BC cycle 9:18 AM Eastern Time SECTION: State and Regional LENGTH: 494 words HEADLINE: USS Lincoln crew anxiously awaits homecoming, visit from Bush BYLINE: By CHELSEA J. CARTER, Associated Press Writer DATELINE: ABOARD THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN BODY: Navy Airman Robert Richter had trouble deciding which was more exciting - a visit aboard his ship from President Bush or seeing his family when he returned from the war in Iraq. "I'll be honest, it's hard to choose. I want to see the president and all. But I really just want to go home and see my family," said Richter, 22, of Killeen, Texas. The president was scheduled to visit the USS Abraham Lincoln on Thursday, a day before the aircraft carrier was to pull into San Diego before returning to its homeport in Everett, Wash. During his visit, Bush was expected to declare the war in Iraq a success. A crew of more than 5,000 aboard the Lincoln awaited the arrival of the president, who was expected to address the nation Thursday evening from the deck of the moving aircraft carrier. Bush was being ferried to the ship by the Navy's S-3B "Viking" - to be called Navy One because of its presidential passenger. As the plane lands on the Lincoln, cables stretched across the deck are to catch it and wrench it to a stop in less than 300 feet. A few lucky squadrons left the 1,100-foot ship Wednesday and returned to joyful homecomings at Naval air stations along the West Coast. About 70 aircraft that supported the war in Iraq flew back to their respective bases. Two planes bearing more than 40 men and women of the Hustlers C-2 cargo squadron swooped onto North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego Bay, where wives, parents and children sprinted across the tarmac and wrapped themselves in the arms of loved ones they last saw more than nine months ago. "It's like the Super Bowl and the World Series all wrapped in one," said Chief Jeremy Johnson as he hugged his wife, Julie. "It makes it all worth it." Lt. Eric Doyle, an F-18 Super Hornet pilot, was among those leaving the ship before the http://www.lexis.com/research/retrieve?_m=7dc38021782c1b83d2e203e113be2695&docnu. 5/1/2003 Search - 74 Results - uss lincoln AND deployment Page 2 of 2 president's address. "Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get off. But I'd stay a day to hear the president," he said. Although Doyle will miss the speech, he and other pilots were set to meet the president before they flew off the aircraft carrier to return to Naval Air Station Lemoore, about 30 miles south of Fresno. "Meeting the president is a close second to getting home and seeing your family," said Lt. Mike Langbehn, 29, an F-18 Hornet pilot. "If he's late, I don't think we're going to wait. We're going home." For others who remained on board the Lincoln, the president's visit represented a final piece of excitement before the end of one of the longest naval deployments since the Vietnam War. Airman Cassie Eoff, 21, of Van Buren, Ark., was supposed to get married April 16. But she had to cancel it when the Lincoln, while on its way home from a six-month deployment in the Persian Gulf, was ordered to return to the Gulf to prepare for a possible war with Iraq. She said she has rescheduled the wedding for August. "I just want to touch American land. I just want to get home and see my fiance," she said.

Daily News (New York) September 10, 2002, Tuesday SPORTS FINAL EDITION SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 3 LENGTH: 641 words HEADLINE: HIJACK PLOT BARED ON AL QAEDA VIDEO BYLINE: By HELEN KENNEDY DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU BODY: WASHINGTON - Al Qaeda has produced its own grotesque Sept. 11 commemorative video, a film narrated by Osama Bin Laden showing the hijackers plotting what they called "Holy Tuesday." In excerpts of the video aired on Al Jazeera TV in Qatar, snapshots of the 19 hijackers' faces appear superimposed on a landscape of clouds and mountains. Bin Laden does not appear on the tape, but his voice is heard praising the hijackers for "the conquests of Washington and New York." But the tape does not clear up the mystery of whether Bin Laden is dead or alive. It could have been made anytime after Sept. 11, and experts said the fact that Bin Laden isn't shown bolsters the theory that he is dead or gravely wounded. Bin Laden has not been seen since a December video of him squatting in a field. An Al Jazeera reporter who recently interviewed top Bin Laden aides Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed said they insisted their boss was alive but at one point referred to him in the past tense. In that interview, Mohammed and Binalshibh said they began plotting the Sept. 11 attack in early 1999. The terrorists said they sent four surveillance teams to the United States to scout targets before hijacker leader Mohamed Atta and his 18 henchmen arrived in mid-2000. Binalshibh, who wanted to be the 20th hijacker but was refused entry to the U.S., proudly carries a End 4 suitcase of planning "souvenirs" with him on the lam - including flying manuals, airline guides and Arnarse illustrations of "how to perform sudden maneuvers." He said he has written a 112-page justification of the attacks that he wants entered in the Library of Congress. He said he hopes the attacks will be the "beginning of the end of America." Once in the U.S., Atta reported back to Binalshibh in Germany through an Internet chat room. He wrote in German, pretending to be a student writing to his girlfriend "Jenny." LEXIS®-NEXIS® View Printable Page http://www.nexis.com/research/search/suhmitViewTal His code words for the targets: "Faculty of Town Planning" for the World Trade Center, "Faculty of Fine Arts" for the Pentagon and "Faculty of Law" for the U.S. Capitol, which was to have been hit by the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. When Atta passed along the date he'd chosen for the attacks, he called it "two sticks, a dash and a cake with a stick down" or 11-9, the way the non-American world writes 9/11. Bin Laden's voice Al Jazeera said the tape produced by Al Qaeda was made in the Afghan city of Kandahar but didn't say when Bin Laden's voice was added to the mix. The voice that experts say is Bin Laden's introduces the four ringleaders, as men's voices can be heard singing Muslim hymns in the background. Bin Laden praises "the men who changed the course of history and cleansed the [Islamic] nation of the filth of treacherous rulers and their lackeys." The men single out Atta, "who led the group which destroyed the first tower"; Marwan Al-Shehhi, "destroyer of the second tower"; Hani Hanjour, "destroyer of the Pentagon," and Ziad Jarrah, who led the hijackers aboard Flight 93. "These great men had the deep-rooted faith in the hearts of believers," Bin Laden says. A second part of the new tape shows hijacker Abdulaziz Alomari reading his last testament to the cameras. "May God reward all those who trained me and made possible this glorious act, notably the fighter Osama Bin Laden, God protect him," he says. To the United States, he says: "take your fat hands off the land of Arabs and stop supporting Jewish cowards. We will get you. We will humiliate you. We will never stop following you." Oddly, the video shows him against a picture of the Pentagon, although Alomari crashed into the World Trade Center on Atta's plane. The last part of the tape shows men in a room full of printers and computer keyboards poring over flying manuals and maps of Washington - with the Pentagon outlined in red. GRAPHIC: Video released by Al Jazeera TV and aired on CNN shows hijackers reviewing flight manuals and maps, hijacker reading message critical of U.S. policies (top 1.) and praise for five who took part in Sept. 11 attack (1.).

CNN BILL TURNBULL DAILY NEWS LOAD-DATE: September 10, 2002 Isaiah 49 http://63.151.40.85/revivalfires/is_49.htm Isaiah 49 (NIV) 1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. 2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. 3 He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor." 4 But I said, "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God." 5 And now the LORD says-- he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength-- 6 he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." 7 This is what the LORD says-- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel-- to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." 8 This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, 9 to say to the captives, Come out,' and to those in darkness, `Be free!' "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up. 12 See, they will come from afar-- some from the north, some from the west, some from the region of Aswan." 13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. 14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." 1 of 2 4/29/2003 10:12 AM Isaiah 49 http://63.151.40.85/revivalfires/is_49.htm 15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. 17 Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. 18 Lift up your eyes and look around; all your sons gather and come to you. As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "you will wear them all as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride. 19 "Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste, now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away. 20 The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing, 'This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.' 21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who bore me these? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left all alone, but these--where have they come from?" 22 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I will beckon to the Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders. 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." 24 Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce? 25 But this is what the LORD says: "Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save. 26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." < back to Vision and Values page Scripture quotations taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version.

The USAID-funded U.S. Census Bureau paper "The AIDS Pandemic in the 21st Century" was released during the conference and was the subject of a USAID press conference. The Census Bureau started in 1994 to look at demographic trends and indicators such as life expectancy, one of the key indicators for measuring development progress (which is USAID's first line of work). The Bureau's first projections in 1994 foresaw terrible trends, but the international community didn't really believe them. Unfortunately, from the data we are seeing now, they were right on target, so it is critical that we understand the impact AIDS is having on individuals, families, communities, and countries. Impacts on Development. Karen Stanecki of the U.S. Census Bureau, and author of "The AIDS Pandemic in the 21st Century," began by noting that the numbers contained in the UNAIDS global HIV/AIDS report, released in the week leading up to the Barcelona, were again staggering. The number of people with HIV/AIDS is 40 million; people infected with HIV in 2001, 5 million; AIDS deaths in 2001, 3 million. These numbers indicate the epidemic is not slowing down but is continuing to grow. The pandemic continues to have its greatest impact in the developing world. Over 90 percent of people infected with HIV and AIDS live in developing countries. An estimated 70 percent of the global total of HIV-positive people lives in sub-Saharan Africa, which represents only 11 percent of the global population. Southern and Eastern Africa are the most severely affected regions. Seven countries - Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe - have an estimated adult HIV prevalence greater than 20 percent. AIDS mortality is resulting in falling life expectancy, a key indicator of developmental progress in developing countries. In Botswana, nearly 40 years of life expectancy have been lost due to AIDS. Without AIDS, life expectancy in Botswana would have been 72 years; it is now estimated to be 33.9. In the sub-Saharan African countries of Angola, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Zambia, life expectancies are also below 40 years. By 2010 - less than 10 years from now - many countries in Southern Africa will see life expectancies fall to near 30 years, levels that have not been seen since the end of the 19th century. In Botswana, life expectancy will fall to 27 by 2010. It will fall to 33 in Swaziland and 34 in Namibia and Zambia. Population growth is already negative in Botswana. Several other countries in Southern Africa have sharply reduced growth rates, including Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. By 2010, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, South Africa, and Swaziland will be experiencing negative population growth because of AIDS mortality. HIV/AIDS is having an impact on population growth in the Caribbean region also. Although most of Trinidad and Tobago's population loss is due to out-migration, HIV/AIDS is contributing to increased negative growth. Infant mortality is another key indicator for progress and development in many countries. In some sub-Saharan African countries, infant mortality rates are now higher than they were in 1990. AIDS mortality has reversed the declines in infant mortality rates that occurred in the 1980s and early '90s. With AIDS, infant mortality in Swaziland and Zimbabwe is nearly twice as high as it would have been without AIDS. The impact has been most dramatic in countries where infant morality rates had significantly declined and where HIV prevalence is high, such as Botswana, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. By 2010, more infants will die from AIDS than from any other cause in the poorer countries of sub- Saharan Africa. In Botswana and Zimbabwe, twice as many infants will die from AIDS than from all other causes. More infants will also die from AIDS than from all other causes in South Africa and Namibia. In 37 sub-Saharan African countries, child mortality has increased over what it would have been without AIDS. AIDS deaths among children under 5 years of age are resulting in higher child mortality rates. Again, the impact is highest in those countries that had significantly reduced child mortality from other causes but have high HIV prevalence rates. In the absence of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, child mortality rates in 2010 will continue to be significantly higher with AIDS than it would have been without AIDS. In Botswana, 80 percent of the deaths among children under 5 will be due to AIDS. More than 120 babies per 1,000 born will die before their first birthday, about 100 of them from AIDS. At the beginning of the 21 st century, AIDS is the number one cause of death in Africa and the fourth largest cause globally. Emerging only 20 years ago, few would have predicted the current state of the epidemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic in which more than 30 percent of adults in any country would be living with HIV/AIDS was unthinkable. Yet this is the current situation in four countries. In seven sub-Saharan African countries, at least one out of every five adults is living with HIV/AIDS, and in an additional six countries, one out of 10 adults is living with HIV. There have been success stories - Thailand, Senegal, Cambodia, Uganda, Zambia - and these successes can be repeated. However, the current burden of disease, death, and orphanhood will be a significant problem in many sub-Saharan countries for the foreseeable future. Questions and Comments. A question following the presentation addressed the shape of the population pyramid that will result from these trends by 2010. There will dramatic changes in population structure. Many deaths in the adult age group will create a "chimney-type" pyramid, with a lot of missing adults in the middle years, compared with the traditional pyramid.

For more than 60 years, Marines have gone forth from Camp Lejeune to fight our country's battles. Now America has entered a fierce stru protect the world from a grave danger and to bring freedom to an oppressed people. As the forces of our coalition advance, we learn more the atrocities of the Iraqi regime and the deep fear that Saddam Hussein has instilled in the Iraqi people. Yet, no scheme of this enemy, no a dying regime will divert us from our mission. We will not stop until Iraq is free. (Applause.) AUDIENCE MEMBER: We love you, President Bush!. (Applause.)

And Laura and I are here to thank each one of you. (Applause.) Why We Know Iraq is Lying We're here to thank the Marines. (Applause.) I also want to thank the men and women of the Marine Forces Reserve who are serving here and abroad. (Applause.) Hundreds of reserve units across America have been activated in this time of war, and our country thanks these fine citizens and their employers for putting duty first. I want to thank Major General David Mize for his hospitality and his leadership. I want to thank Major General John Castelaw, Commanding General of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, for his leadership and strength. (Applause.)

I want to thank the thousands of you who are here who understand we can save somebody's life by showing th We can help somebody who hurts by hugging a neighbor in need. (Applause.) All around Camp Lejeune are monuments to the heroic achievements of the United States Marines. In the 14 days since the major ground began, the Marine Corps has added new achievements to its great story. (Applause.) On the first day of the campaign, Marine units were ordered to secure 600 Iraqi oil wells and prevent environmental disaster. And that mis accomplished. (Applause.) U.S. Marines and our Royal Marine allies were sent in to take the AI Faw Peninsula and clear a path for humar aid, and that job was done. (Applause.) In the tough fighting at AI Nasiriyah, Marines continue to push back the enemy, and are showing the unrelenting courage worthy of the na Force Tarawa. (Applause.) Two nights ago, Marines and Special Operations forces set out on a daring rescue mission -- and thanks to the and courage, a brave young soldier is now free. (Applause.) These missions are difficult and they are dangerous, but no one becomes a Marine because it's easy. (Applause.) Now our coalition moves forward. Marines are in the thick of the battle. And what we have begun, we will finish. (Applause.) The United States and our allies pledged to act if the dictator did not disarm. The regime in Iraq is now learning that we keep our word. (Applause.) By our actions, we serve a great and just cause: We will remove weapons of mass destruction from the hands of mass murderers. Free nations will not sit and wait, leaving enemies free to plot another September the 11th, this time, perhaps with chemical or biological or nuclear terror. And by defending our own security, we are freeing the people of Iraq from one of the cruelest regimes on Earth. (Applause.) At this hour, coalition forces are clearing southern cities and towns of the dictator's death squads and enforcers. Our Special Forces and Army paratroopers, working with Kurdish militia, have opened a northern front against the enemy. Army and Marine divisions are engaging the enemy and advancing to the outskirl Baghdad. (Applause.) From the skies above, coalition aircraft and Cruise missiles are removing hundreds of military targets from Iraq. A vice is closing, and the brutal regime are coming to an end. (Applause.) Some servants of the regime have chosen to fill their final days with acts of cowardice and murder. In combat, Saddam's thugs shield ther with women and children. They have killed Iraqi citizens who welcome coalition troops. They force other Iraqis into battle, by threatening t or kill their families. They've executed prisoners of war. They've waged attacks under the white flag of truce. They concealed combat force civilian neighborhoods and schools and hospitals and mosques. In this war, the Iraqi regime is doing -- is terrorizing its own citizens, doing everything possible to maximize Iraqi civilian casualties, and then to exploit the deaths they've caused for propaganda. These are war criminals and they will be treated like war criminals. (Applause.) In stark contrast, the citizens of Iraq are coming to know what kind of people we have sent to liberate them. American forces and our allies are treating innocent civilians with kindness, and showing proper respect to soldiers who surrender. Many Americans have seen the picture of Marine Lance Corporal Marcco Ware carrying a wounded Iraqi soldier on his shoulders to safety, for medical treatment. That's the picture of the strength and goodness of the U.S. Marines. (Applause.) That is a picture of America. (Applause.) People in the United States are proud of the honorable conduct of our military, and I'm proud to lead such brave and decent Americans. (Applause.) I'm also proud that coalition victories are bringing food and water and medicine to the Iraqi people. Our coalition partners have constructe pipeline to bring clean water to Umm Qasr. We're delivering emergency rations to the hungry. Right now, ships carrying enough American feed millions are bound for Iraq. We're bringing aid, and we're bringing something more -- we're bringing hope. (Applause.) A man in one Iraqi village said this to one of our soldiers: "I want my freedom.

America hears that man. We hear all Iraqis who yearn for liberty. And the people of Iraq have my F Our fighting forces will press on until your entire country is free. (Applause.) The Iraqi people deserve to live in peace under leaders they have chosen. They deserve a government that respects the rights of every ci ethnic group. They deserve a country that is united, that's independent, and that is released from years of sanctions and sorrow. Our coal one goal for the future of Iraq -- to return that great country to it's own people. (Applause.)

All who serve in this mission can know this: Your fellow citizens are behind you and our government will give you every tool you need for 1 (Applause.) People of this country take pride in your victories, and we share in your losses. Camp Lejeune has lost some good Marines. Every person in the line of duty leaves a family that lives in grief.

Our country has a tradition, as well. who falls will be forgotten by this grateful nation. We honor their service to America and we pray their families will receive God's comfort a grace. (Applause.) These are sacrifices in a high calling -- the defense of our nation and the peace of the world. Overcoming evil is the noblest cause and the hardest work. And the liberation of millions is the fulfillment of America's founding promise. The objectives we've set in this war are worthy of America, worthy of all the acts of heroism and generosity that have come before. Once again, we are applying the power of our country to ensure our security and to serve the cause of justice. And we will prevail. (Applause.) Our Armed Services have performed brilliantly in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Moving a massive force over 200 miles of enemy territory in a matter of days is a superb achievement. Yet there is work ahead for our coalition, for the American Armed Forces, and for the United States Marines. Having traveled hundreds of miles, we will now go the last 200 yards. (Applause.) The course is set. We're on the advance. Our destination is Baghdad, and we will accept nothing less than complete and final victory. (Applause.) May God bless our country and all who defend her.

This Document was withdrawn on 10/7/2001 by DRS Town Hall Meeting with Troops Page 1 of 5 Town Hall Meeting with Troops Presenters: Sec Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, General April 28, 2003 Tommy Franks, Commander, CENTCOM GEN. FRANKS: Thanks a lot. Well, about six weeks ago, the Secretary of Defense outlined military objectives, as a matter of fact, he outlined eight of them for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today the coalition has achieved a great many of these objectives, and the people in Iraq have begun a transition to independence. On this very day, a large and diverse group of Iraqis having a meeting we call it the "big tent" meeting -- in Baghdad to discuss their future government. To be sure, the Iraqis will have a new government; it will be a government of their choosing. Because of all of you, and because of every member of this coalition, Iraqis today are able to raise their voices in debate without fear of torture or death. Now, that meeting today represents just a single example of a new spirit, a spirit of hope, freedom, optimism, and a celebration that's being witnessed across Iraq and around the world. Iraqis are working with the coalition, as we speak, to help restore basic services to their cities and neighborhoods; services like clean drinking water, services like electricity, security, health care, food assistance for those in need. In fact, because of your hard work, many Iraqis already have more food, more water, more security, more electricity and better medical care than they had six weeks ago. You know, it was that regime that used hunger and the basic needs of people as tools by way of fear to control Iraq. Now, to be sure, there is a great deal of work left to be done. But also to be sure, the Iraqi regime is no longer in power. (Cheers, applause.) And the Iraqi people are on their way to the blessings of liberty. (Applause.) Now, throughout this operation, coalition forces have been fortunate to have civilian leadership that sets clear objectives and then empowers commanders and all of us in the field to achieve the objectives that I described a minute ago. Mr. Secretary, on behalf of all of us, every coalition soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, contractor, DOD civil servant, thank you, sir, for your leadership. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you for giving our forces the support, the guidance, the leadership, the tools that we need to win. And, Mr. Secretary, thank you for being here with all of us today. Secretary Don Rumsfeld has had many titles: wrestler -- (laughter); pilot -- (cheers); pilot -- (cheers); congressman, chief of staff, Secretary of Defense, businessman, and secretary of Defense. As for me, I just call him, "Boss." Ladies and gentlemen, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. (Cheers, applause.) SEC. RUMSFELD: Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you so much for that wonderful, wonderful welcome. General Franks, you and your outstanding team have done a truly superb job, for our troops, for our nation, for this region, and indeed, for the world. What this team, all of you, has accomplished will certainly go down in the history books. You and Mike DeLong, John Abizaid, General Moseley, General McKiernan, Admiral Keating, Del Dailey, Gary Harrel, General Hailston have been privileged to lead what is without question the best trained, the best equipped, and the finest troops on the face of the earth. (Cheers, applause.) It's a privilege for me to be able to be here and say thank you to that leadership team, but also to be able to say thank you to each of you personally for the extraordinary efforts that you've put in to this enormously important task over these past months. I know you've worked long hours, under considerable pressure, often in difficult circumstances, and I know it's not been easy, but think what's been accomplished. You have helped rescue a nation and liberate a people. You have driven a repressive regime from power, ended a threat to free people everywhere. You've protected a country, our country, from a gathering danger, and given the Iraqi people a chance to build a free nation and to live normal lives. http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/transcripts/20030420.htm 4/29/2003 Town Hall Meeting with Troops Page 2 of 5 Think of the scenes we've all witnessed of free Iraqis pulling down statues of Saddam Hussein, embracing coalition forces, celebrating their new-found freedom. They will certainly take their place alongside the fall of the Berlin Wall, the liberation of Paris, and each of you helped make that happen. (Shouts, applause.) And you can be very proud of it. While the Iraqi regime was waiting for General Franks to launch the air war, hundreds of Special Operations forces poured into all regions of the country, securing airfields, attacking terrorist facilities and regime targets, taking out the regime's capability to launch missiles and attacks against neighboring countries. They were followed by a large force rolling across the Kuwait border. Instead of working their way north to Baghdad, with long pauses and pitched battles for each city along the way, they pressed through southern Iraq in less than a week, leaving follow-on forces to secure the cities they passed as they raced for the capital, supported by outstanding air-ground coordination. Notwithstanding death squads and dust storms, they reached the gates of Baghdad in less than two weeks. And by the time they were ready to take the city, they had decimated Iraq's command and control, and the Republican Guard divisions ringing Baghdad, with unquestionably the most powerful and precise air campaign in the history of warfare, using capabilities so discreet that coalition air crews could take out a tank hiding under a bridge without damaging the bridge. Baghdad was liberated in less than a month, possibly the fastest march on a capital in modern military history. The war was remarkable not only for the speed and skill with which it happened, but also for what did not happen because of that speed and because of the design of the plan and the brilliant execution. You prevented the Iraqi regime from attacking its neighbors with missiles. You've secured the vast majority of Iraq's oil fields, and key bridges, roads and rail lines before they could be destroyed by the regime. Many had been wired for destruction but never detonated. Either the Iraqis responsible for pulling the trigger heard the message in the coalition leaflets and broadcasts and heeded the warnings, or else the coalition advance was so rapid and unexpected that they did not have time: We may never know the answer. But we do know the result. The infrastructure of Iraq is largely intact, and an environmental disaster was averted. The dams were not broken. The villages were not flooded. There were no large masses of refugees fleeing across borders into neighboring countries as the result of a sustained air campaign that affected civilian lives. And there have not been large numbers of civilian casualties because the coalition took such great care to protect the lives of innocent civilians as well as holy sites. It's a remarkable achievement. The plan was adaptable and flexible, and you folks were able to turn difficulties into opportunities. For example, Turkey's decision to not allow coalition forces to enter Iraq from the north was disappointing, to be sure, but that disappointment eventually was turned to our advantage. Instead of bringing the 4th Infantry Division ships out of the Mediterranean, even though we had given up hope of bringing them through Turkey, they were kept there by General Franks, creating the impression in Baghdad, we're sure, that the attack would not start until the coalition could open a northern front. This contributed to the surprise of the Iraqi regime when the war began without those forces. When the dust is settled in Iraq, military historians will study this war. They'll examine the unprecedented combination of power, precision, speed, flexibility and, I would add also, compassion that was employed. This much is certain: From this experience, our experience in Afghanistan as well, we're learning lessons that will affect how the United States of America, how the Department of Defense and the services will organize, will train and will equip, lessons that will impact budgets and procedures, training and doctrine, and affect the future success of our country for many years to come. So let there be no doubt. With the liberation of Iraq, you have transformed the country, but how you did it will help transform how we defend our country in the 21st century.. Each of you played an important role -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -- (shouts) -- and the Coast Guard -- (laughter) -- and, I would add, the civilian employees and the contractors, many of whom, I'm sure, are here. You can take great pride in that accomplishment, the skill with which you planned it, the tenacity with which you fought it and the humanity with which you prosecuted it. You've accomplished a great deal, but we still have a good deal to do, let there be no doubt. We're grateful for your service, and we're also grateful to your families. They worry about you, I know, and they endure long separations. They also serve our country in that way, and they serve the cause of freedom. So we're grateful and proud of them. (Cheers, extended applause.) And the American people are proud of you and grateful to each of you as well. http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/transcripts/20030420.htm 4/29/2003 Town Hall Meeting with Troops Page 3 of 5 So may God bless you all. And thank you very much. (Applause.) Now! Now you have a chance to ask questions of me. Or General Franks. (Laughter.) Or both of us. Or each of us. Are there mikes around? There are mikes? Good. Here's a hand. I'll answer easy ones. (Laughter.) Tommy will answer the tough ones. Q Good morning, Mr. Secretary. SEC. RUMSFELD: You're not on. Q I'm Major -- SEC. RUMSFELD: There he is. It is on. (Laughter.) Now it's on. Q Good morning, Mr. Secretary and General Franks. I'm Major Perry Anton (sp), 502nd, from Los Alamitos, California. I've got two questions for you. SEC. RUMSFELD: You should be in the press. (Laughter.) You'll probably have three follow-ups, too. (Laughter.) Q Sir -- (inaudible) -- be prepared. (Laughter.) SEC. RUMSFELD: All right. Q In light of the significant roles of Reserves, and given the increase of the reliance on Reserve forces, what is your position on lowering the Reserve retirement age? (Shouts, cheers, applause.) SEC. RUMSFELD: I mean, how the hell can you ask a 70-year old to lower the retirement age? (Laughter, applause.) No, let's have a different question! Someone else! (Applause.) Where's the mikes?! (Laughter.) GEN. FRANKS (?): Next question! (Laughter.) SEC. RUMSFELD: Here's one right here. It's coming behind you. There we go. Q Mr. Secretary -- (off mike) -- GEN. FRANKS (?): Hold up for the mike. SEC. RUMSFELD: There you go. Q Mr. Secretary -- (off mike) -- SEC. RUMSFELD: Your mike's not on. Don't yell, now. (Laughter.) Q Mr. Secretary -- (off mike). You talk about the vision for the 21st century. How would you portray that to us here, who are going to be going into the 21st century defending our country? SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, when you think about it, the Department of Defense has historically been organized to be able to deter and defend against armies and navies and air forces. And what we're finding is a world where the weapons are increasingly more powerful, capable of killing not just hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands, when one thinks of biological attacks and chemical and nuclear attacks. http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/transcripts/20030420.htm 4/29/2003 Town Hall Meeting with Troops Page 4 of 5 So the task we have is a quite different one in the 21st century. It's not conventional, it's unconventional. It is a task that will require us to seek out and defend against and prevent the attacks from terrorists and terrorist networks. And there are many several terrorist networks that represent global threats to us. And they have close relationships with terrorist states, and the terrorist states have, increasingly, capabilities in weapons of mass destruction. So our task is to see that we are increasingly joint as a department and less service-centric, and that we do a much better job, the kind of job that was done here by this wonderful team in seeing that we had capabilities, regardless of which service they came from, and were able to seek out and attack threats and dangers that existed. So I think that what we're going to have to do is to take the kinds of lessons that are learned here, in what's just taken place in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and see that we do bring those lessons to the department as a whole and that we bring them to the services at an early enough stage so that we can find a that we've organized and we've trained and we've equipped for the kind of world we're living in. And I think that we've got a good start on that. I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. Right back there. I would add one thing. We're perfectly capable of living in this world. We need not be afraid. We can do it. (Shouts, applause.) It may be a dangerous world, and it may be an untidy world, but our country and our friends and allies are going to be able to preserve our way of life, still can continue as free people, not climb into holes and hide from others. We're going to be able to do that because we've got the ability and we have the kinds of capabilities that will enable us to do that. Where did that mike go? Right there? Good. Q Yes, sir. I'm Craig Cole (sp) of the United States Air Force. One simple question for you and General Franks. SEC. RUMSFELD: I'll decide if it's simple. (Laughter.) Q How do I get a picture with you and General Franks, sir? (Laughter.) SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, I can speak for Rumsfeld, and you come right up here afterwards, and we'll do it. I can't speak for Tommy. He's -- (laughter.) Q Thank you, sir. SEC. RUMSFELD: He'll be there. Okay. It was suggested I take one more question. I'd like to take two more questions. There's one, and there's one. Yes, right here. STAFF: I think the microphone's over here, Mr. Secretary. SEC. RUMSFELD: Where are you? STAFF: Right here. SEC. RUMSFELD: Good. (Cross talk.) Q Hi, Mr. Secretary. I'm Sergeant Cramer (ph) from the 502nd (Transit ?), and I was just curious to know whether or not you've been bombarded with apologetic phonecalls from your critics who had perceived a doom and gloom scenario. http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/transcripts/20030420.htm 4/29/2003 Town Hall Meeting with Troops Page 5 of 5 (Applause; cheers.) SEC. RUMSFELD: My answer's off the record. (Laughter.) There were a lot of hand-wringers around, weren't there? (Laughter; applause.) You know, during World War II, I think Winston Churchill was talking about the Battle of Britain, and he said, "Never have so many owed so much to so few." A humorist in Washington the other day sent me a note paraphrasing that, and he said, "Never have so many been so wrong about so much." (Laughter; applause.) But I would never say that. (Laughter.) The last question. Q Mr. Secretary, in the days leading up to the -- SEC. RUMSFELD: Where are you? Raise your hand. I can't -- Q Right here. SEC. RUMSFELD: There you are. Okay. Q In the days leading up to the ground assault, I have to admit that it was kind of scary for me personally. What was the hardest leadership decision that you had to make in the beginning of this campaign? SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, I'll tell you the best decision I made was asking General Tommy Franks. (Cheers; applause.) Thank you very much. (Applause.) THIS TRANSCRIPT WAS PREPARED BY THE FEDERAL NEWS SERVICE INC., WASHINGTON, D.C. FEDERAL NEWS SERVICE IS A PRIVATE COMPANY.

Buckley Jr. through open fighting. But the rub with the present conflict - now on show to the world through instantaneous global communications - is to use enough force to shatter resistance, but not too much to lose international political support though the sheer display of lethality. Thus the surreal scene of barbers on Day Three in Baghdad scoffing to their customers of "air" bombs and a weak air campaign even as Western reporters were likening the shock-and-awe campaign to Dresden and Hamburg. In truth, the decision to forego a long bombing campaign to save the infrastructure of Iraq and preempt the nihilism of Saddam was courageous and astute - - and should be at last recognized as what http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson041103.asp 4/29/2003 Victor Davis Hanson on War & Iraq on National Review Online Page 3 of 5 it is: as daring as Eisenhower's call to hit the stormy beaches of Normandy. Saddam's Iraqis slammed rockets into American installations, blew up two journalists, and the world was silent. In contrast, our troops on the ground fired back at shooters in a hotel where Baathist functionaries were embedded among reporters, tragically killed three journalists, and the globe was afire in indignation. American teenagers inside tanks (no doubt glued to CNN video consuls) who were targets were apparently supposed to die rather than dare to endanger a crowd of elite journalists at Ground Zero of a war, with full knowledge that they were being housed and used by fascists - as if Patton's tankers would have not fired back at shooters in a hotel in Vichy France because Nazis had allowed a UPI or AP correspondent on the verandah. Baghdad Bob assured the inhabitants of the Arab world that there was not an American in sight; later that same night Larry King hosted a panel of silly journalists and ex-generals who discussed such competing discourses and alternative "truths" - and meanwhile the subjective construct of American tanks rolled through the city, oblivious to both Middle Eastern mythmaking and hackneyed postmodern analysis. The military itself suffers from another inescapable paradox. Its very success allows the engine of freedom and capitalism to create an enormously affluent and sometimes smug class that forgets how and why its comfort is maintained in the present and ensured for the future. I think Messrs. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz, when this is all over, will have done a great favor to millions of Iraqis and provided Americans increased security, but I don't expect that they will win any popularity contests for all their efforts. Don't expect that Walter Cronkite, Arthur Schlesinger, David Halberstam, Susan Sontag, and a host of others who predicted a nightmarish "hornet's nest" and American diplomatic catastrophe in Iraq to admit their error. More likely, such critics will commit a trifecta of hubris and misjudgment by predicting further endless terror to complement their past gloomy prognostications about the Taliban and Saddamites. In addition, diplomats and apostles of peace are now likely to come to the fore and be praised when memory of smoke and iron fades; their talk will so reassure us that we will forget the grimmer men who allowed us such luxury. So, for example, the shameless Dominique de Villepin hogged the world's news before the war, did nothing during it, and now he's back again - when he sniffs the danger is past and money is to be made, it is once more time for slick talk and the waving of arms. That American and British women fought live enemies courageously while some Frenchmen attacked the graves of dead friends seems to have escaped him. http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson041103.asp 4/29/2003 Victor Davis Hanson on War & Iraq on National Review Online Page 4 of 5 Imagine a pontificating U.N. functionary, fresh from the Balkan holocaust, in postbellum Iraq, trying to investigate Baathist murderers and torturers: "One could argue that the level of evidence necessary to indict such a Baathist suspect does not meet the criteria of the International Criminal Court - and one might argue that he may not necessarily be as responsible for the carnage inflicted by, say, an F-16 pilot." Do we really want a year of that dreamlike nonsense or the U.N.'s undemocratic countries and their apparatchiks obstructing the creation of democracy in a new Iraq? In this regard, Arab intellectuals - did you see their angst at scenes of Iraqi jubilation? - carry a terrible burden. For years they have admirably called for indigenous democratic reform. But no Arab masses have recently risen up like the generation of 1776 to insist on popular constitutional government. In response, they blame cynical American Cold War era support of Arab strongmen in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, or Jordan. But even if we forget that the worst Arab tyrants, such as Nasser, Qaddafi, and Saddam, were homegrown, the United States is at last removing an ogre with the blood of a million Muslims on his hands and is determined to implant democracy upon his demise. So a dilemma faces the Arab elite - if the price of liberation is the intrusion of U.S. arms, would they prefer that Iraqi Muslims instead remain enslaved? Perhaps we should resurrect Saddam's statues or suggest that throngs in Baghdad suffer from delusions of grandeur? Finally, obvious contrasts arise with Gulf Wars I and II. Ostensibly Saddam's earlier army was more formidable and thus made the first conflict more challenging. But in retrospect, the present ordeal by any fair measure is the far more ambitious and audacious campaign. Eradicating fascism is not the same as expelling an army from Kuwait. Targeting a quarter-million killers from a population of 26 million - while trying to avoid damage to innocents and enemy sanctuaries in mosques, schools, hotels, and hospitals - sounds nearly impossible. Twelve years ago we had the patina of U.N. support, plentiful allies, more troops, and a limited mission; now we are trying to take an entire country with half the old forces and alone with the British and Australians. Moreover, much has transpired since 1991. Then the Soviet Union was not entirely gone, and our allies still worried about breaking ranks from our nuclear shield. Now, with the fear of an invasion of Europe a distant memory, this present war has offered the perfect occasion for many of our NATO allies to showcase longstanding resentments and jealousies. In response, we shrugged and reached Baghdad in half the time, so far with half the American total casualties it took to get to Kuwait. http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson041103.asp 4/29/2003 Victor Davis Hanson on War & Iraq on National Review Online Page 5 of 5 We have no idea of the nature of eventual peace settlements, but already the roll into Baghdad as an act of liberation and a military masterpiece will rank along with Epaminondas's trek to free the helots, Sherman's March, and Patton's long race to the German border. Meanwhile, everyone seems either to have criticized or belatedly praised "the plan"; but so far no one seems to quite know how 250,000 brave American, British, and Australian young men and women in the field are actually pulling it off.

H16 LENGTH: 754 words HEADLINE: Awaiting word from front lines Thousands of USS Abraham Lincoln crew members left behind loved ones who have been increasingly anxious and sleepless since the war started. BYLINE: Rachel Tuinstra; Times Snohomish County bureau BODY: Sleepless nights of watching the news on TV and making hundreds of patriotic ribbons that's how Sayeh Azarpay has gotten by since war broke out. Azarpay, 23, was supposed to get married this Saturday, but her wedding dress remains in her hallway closet. Her fiance, Petty Officer 3rd Class Jay Ellis, 29, is among the thousands of crew members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was diverted to the Persian Gulf when it had nearly completed a six-month tour. "I can't shut my brain off from thinking about the war, thinking about Jay, wondering if I'll have to delay the wedding again," Azarpay said. "There's no countdown; we don't know when he's coming home. I don't want to watch the news, but I do watch it because I have to know what's going on." Azarpay is among thousands in Snohomish County who are anxiously awaiting news from their loved ones on the war's front lines. Some say they find themselves restless, anxious and often sleepless in the days since the war started. Some say they have become addicted to televised accounts of the war; others soak up information from radio, the Internet and newspapers. They write letters, send packages and await phone calls. But those left behind say fear and concern for their loved ones never leave them. Dode Hutchison often awakens, startled, in the middle of the night with an image of her daughter, 1st Lt. Faye Hutchison, in her Marine uniform. It's hard for Hutchison to fathom that her 24-year-old daughter is on a convoy toward Baghdad. "When that happens, I'm wondering, is my daughter safe? Has there been a tragedy?" said Hutchison, of Snohomish. "I'm worried what I'm waking up to, and I turn on the TV. I have this dull ache in my stomach." Hutchison has talked to her daughter only a handful of times since she landed in Kuwait in late January. It was painful to hear the exhaustion in her voice, Hutchison said. LEXIS®-NEXIS® View Printable Page http://www.nexis.com/research/search/submitVievTal "Her words were slurring. She said Tm so tired,' and made a comment like T've seen SO many things, I'm not sure that I can ever be the same,' Hutchison said. "I think being a mom, it's hard. I know her strengths, I know her weaknesses. But she's a Marine, she's a female, she's a first lieutenant. I want to hold her and hug her and tell her to let it all out. But she holds back. She has to be strong." Although phone calls have been spotty, Hutchison and her husband, Rod, receive letters from Faye, all written on the back of cardboard boxes from meals-ready-to-eat (MRE) rations. "She calls them her MRE postcards at least she keeps her sense of humor," Hutchison said. "I save everything, all the letters, all the e-mails." Henriette Anne Klauser of Edmonds has been keeping a daily journal that she pulls out to write letters to her daughter, Lt. j.g. Emily Klauser, aboard the Lincoln. Henriette Klauser clips newspaper articles and sends e-mails to keep her daughter in her daily life as much as possible. "I go through my day looking for tidbits to share That way I can be thinking of her all day," Klauser said. But nothing replaces hearing Emily's voice on the phone, Klauser said. "When you're on the phone, as wonderful as it is, you feel so lonely when the click goes and she hangs up," Klauser said. "You can't call back." Klauser bought a book of 50 stamps when the Lincoln left in July. She thought she wouldn't have time to use them all up before her daughter came home. But now she's down to the last 15. "I know there's no (return) date, but watching those stamps disappear, I know she's closer to coming home," Klauser said. "She's been out there a long time." The Lincoln has been deployed 255 days, just shy of the 259-day deployment by the USS Nimitz, which the Navy believes is the longest since World War II. The Lincoln is also well on its way to breaking the overall Navy record of 289 days for the longest deployment. That's one record Ellis, who is engaged to Azarpay, said he could do without. "I have to say, day after day on the boat is getting to me at times," Ellis wrote to a reporter by e-mail. "It has been such a long time since we ported, and it is hard to remain focused. Daily life does not change much. I grow tired of the meals here and the routines of my workday." He wrote that the support of his family and loved ones has helped. "Sayeh and I are doing really well considering the length of time I have been away. Nothing in my heart or mind has changed about her."
