>>they left behind a dock full of tearful wives and mothers and children, who kissed their men goodbye possibly for the last time<<

And tearful husbands, mothers and children, kissing their women ditto.

BTW, as a self-employed business person, my consciousness was raised today by NPR. I never thought about the situation of self-employed reservists who are called up. If you have a job, you can't be fired, but that doesn't do you any good if you own the company.

It is a tremendous sacrifice, and I hope and trust that Bilow is full of stuff, and we aren't doing this just for grins.

A buddy of mine was stationed on the Peleliu, which is an LHD.

From what he has told me, they are quite impressive pond hoppers.
