May 23, 2007...The USS Peleliu (LHA-5) deployed on a four month humanitarian cruise. On board was my husband ABH3 Osborne, Michael and a few friends. On the deployment they stopped at several countries: Guam, Philippines, Vietnam, Papau New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Marshall Islands. Where they help rebuild and paint school and children homes. The ship took 1,000 civilian doctors and dentist to assist those in need. Gave the local doctors medical supplies and taught personal hygiene to all the locals. They also stopped of in Hawaii twice. At the beginning and at the end of the deployment.
September 20, 2007...After enduring a long four month of water, foreign languages and costumes. They are finally home. A warm and friendly welcome back home was given. All the sailors are happy to be back to their semi-normal life styles. Where they can drive around, they don't have curfew and where everyone speaks English. Friends and families are so thankful and very happy to have the ones they love home ones more.

Wow!! Mike got to see alot of places! I'm so proud of our military men and women and not just because I'm a military wife; but because they give so much of their own lives and families.
Glad you are back state-side Mike. We're looking forward to hearing all about your travels.
So glad Mike is back in the USA and we are looking forward to his trip down to Costa Rica.
