Operation EI immediately to support either combat operations or possible humanitarian assistance in New York City. While not needed immediately, BATAAN and her crew sailed again for a regularly scheduled six month deployment on September 19 th , 2001. knew that as we left port that this would be an extended combat deployment. Having just completed our arduous pre-deployment work- ups, I felt lucky to be in command of what 1 consider to be the best warship with the finest crew in the U.S. Navy. I y daughter, a student at the University of Florida, had called me right after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. She was not only concerned for my safety, but was obviously very worried about what was happening and if everything was going to be alright. She sounded scared, which bothhurt me and yet made me very angry. Like parents everywhere, job number one has always been ensuring the safety of our children. 1 remembered thinking that one of the reasons 1 joined the Navy was so that no one in America would ever have to be afraid at home. That if we had to go to war, it would be in our enemy ' s back yard. I felt almost as if 1 had failed in that sacred mission. Just a lew short months later however, I take great pride in the fact that we have taken the war to our enemies, over hall a world away, and that Al Queda and Taliban organized resistance has been crushed Who else but America can send her warriors so far away ami tchieve such a great victory, in so short of a period of time. My daughter doesn ' t need to be afraid now, nor do other Americans. I don ' t know what lies alter Afghanistan. I ' ll let my President, who is so capably leading America in this war, decide that lor me. ( omh.it readiness and mission accomplishment remain as always the locus ol the Naval sen ice. It is said that somethinggood comes from all things evil. The cowardly attacks on defenseless civilians has brought a resurgence of patriotism to our country that has been sorely missed. 1 have been immensely proud ofBATAAN ' s crew and her embarked incs p rformance, and indeed of all Americans. The outpouring of support and prayers from our fellow countrymen has ply been astonishing. For all these things I am grateful. The Skipper 06 ' i ' ifiHSHB un ■ . b ■ ■. . -

Executive Officer Captain(Sel) Glenn M. Brunner Hometown: Germantown, Wisconsin College: Purdue University Favorite Pastime: Woodland hiking Favorite Movie: Gettysburg Favorite Quote: Don ' t let go of the rope Person Most Admired: Abraham Lincoln Favorite Sport: Football Favorite Music: Bach Favorite Actor: John Wayne Family: Wife, Ann. Children: Heidi, Alissa, Matthew and Lee Philosophy on Life: You Reap What You Sow Rnsider myself to be especially fortuna assigned to the USS Bataan. She is a i . Jerful ship because she has a wonderful crew. I ' ve never seen a crew do so much so well. I am continually impressed at the professionalism and leadership displayed at all levels. We made it look easy, day in and day out the launching and recovery of aircraft and LCACs seemingly never stopped but we never missed a step. And the greatest experience of all is working with the professionals that make it happen. That is why I ' ve stayed in this busi ness for 30 years and will find it difficult to ever leave. 1 1 only our enem ies could see the wonderful things we as -America have to offer and all the people willing to be their friends. The joy of freedom can be seen in the laces of many of -e young people on Bataan. It can ' t be hidden, it just radiates. But our enemies are blinded by h are and false religion. It was their choice tii live their lives in darkness but someone should have told them about one of our early American history flags that says, Don ' t tread on me . You reap what you sow, and i :omeof ! rim reaper and the eternal bey deserve. 1 am proud to be an nd thankful I was able to be at the ight time with the right d ' s judgement. God
