The Arabian Gulf (May 6, 2003) -- A CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter
from Marine Heavy Helicopters Squadron Four Sixty Four (HMH-464) lands
on the flight deck aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge
(LHD 3). The Marines are among the very first to return to
Kearsarge after 81 days ashore. They will be joined by more than
1,500 other members of the Second Marine Expeditionary Brigade
(2-MEB). Kearsarge is deployed to the Arabian Gulf in support of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, the multi-national coalition effort to
liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
and end the regime of Saddam Hussein. U.S. Navy photo by
