TARAWA's Fair Lady On September 21, 1992, USS TARAWA was graced by a visit from a very warm and caring lady. Her name was 1 Audrey Hepburn and as we sat off the coast of Somalia pro- viding support for the Paki- stani troop movements, she was on the beach trying to help the famine-stricken coun- try. I Her visit was just a friendly one and the TARAWA crewmembers reacted with a wonderful gift of four-thou- sand dollars that was raised in less than 45 minutes. Her happiness was visible as Capt. Nigel E. Parkhurst presented 1 her with the check. She graced the crew with a fBel0wj Audrey Hepburn speaks t - - t th h ' the Sailors and Marines of USS v1s1t o e angar bay and TARAWA in the H B was glad to let the angar ay' crewmembers get snapshots of y themselves taken with her. In January 1993, just four short months later, Audrey Hepburn passed away at the age of 64. The day she visited will be a proud moment in TARAWA history for a long time to come. 144
