J ' ,el by . 'xfFQ -1 l Liberty Call was announced and the deployment was over. The crew filed off the ship and quickly found their loved ones. Tears of joy were the evidence that everyone was happy the crew was home safe. The Commanding Officer made his way to the pier to talk with the local media who wanted to know how the deployment went. The Captain summed up the contribution of the crew by calling them heroes. They had taken the Marines to the fight, served superbly during the war, provided key support to the President ofthe United States, stood ready to conduct an evacuation of civilians from Liberia, and steamed home without a single iniuiy. The crew were heroes. They represented themselves and America in the finest fashion and they had earned their homecoming. Deployments are measured in many ways. In miles QKEARSARGE steamed more than 33,000 milesl, in days QKEARSARGE was gone 170 daysl, and in i - contributions. But inside, each Sailor measures a deployment by his or her own measure. For many, this was their first 1 deployment...a wartime deployment. Each crew member came home a little more salty, a little more proud, a little more patriotic. The crew could look themselves in the mirror and know for a fact they served their country well. They had truly earned the respect of a grateful nation. Ulie
