Boldly going...

The USS Enterprise came home this weekend from a 6 month deployment in the fight against terrorism. I know they are all glad to be home. When I was deployed it was during a time of relative peace and we were never involved in any combat. Of course on a Ballistic Missile sub, if we ever fired the weapons we carried it would be because WW3 was going on. Being deployed is stressful enough when nothing is going on, but to be actively involved in battle can be exhausting. I am sure that the Enterprise was far from harm's way and well protected, but tensions were probably high. Welcome back "Big E"!
