Six Months f Activity When the end of September rolled around in 1987, we all knew we were in for a busy six months, so there were few surprised faces around the shop when any new wrinkle appeared in any of our evolutions. But it still seemed that, whatever we worked hardest at to prepare for, something else would come along, requiring us to adapt and adjust. And the men of MARG 4-87 adapted well. With each short-notice UNREP or unscheduled event, NASSAU sailors and Marines dropped what they were doing and focused their attention on doing the best job they possibly could. If the situation called for work late into the night, you could be sure that NASSAU crewman could be depended upon to do the job safely and efficiently. Yes, this was a hard-working, dedicated group of men who made up the crew and embarked Marines of USS NASSAU during MARG 4-87.

,nn ' my If But, as hard as we worked while at sea, we also worked hard while off -duty. In almost every port we visited, we invited children on board - special chil- dren who brought joy to us. They spoke French, Hebrew and Spanish, but they had those things in common which all children share. They laughed and hugged and wept when they had to leave.iSome of us did, too. They came aboard excitedly to see a huge ship and aircraft that had only been pictures in books to them. But about halfway through each visit, each child would be holding a sailor's hand and there was a new bond of friendship that suddenly seemed as important as the ship around them. Maybe we filled their days with a little excitement and joy - they certainly filled ours with happiness. When they left they went back to orphanages and shelters, some because their families had thrown them away and didn't want them anymore. But they looked just like our children at home, and the world belongs to them, too. There is no question we came back from the Med better professionals because of our training. But we also came back better men because we reached out to the world. The irony is that we received so much more than we were able to give. 49
