There was no such thing. The sailors and airmen of the Abraham Lincoln did that on their own to commemorate the mission they indeed accomplished over an incredible 290 day deployment. In fact, all the troops who participated in the invasion of Iraq and run up to Baghdad accomplished their mission brilliantly, despite a lot of armchair generals claiming they wouldn't.
IMHO the snarky put-downs directed toward Bush and that banner dishonor the accomplishment of all who participated in that operation.
The subsequent occupation and nation building operation suffered from missteps and unexpected problems to overcome but in no way diminished the achievement of the invading force. Ironically, it now appears the second Iraqi mission is being successfully accomplished in light of the recent elections and withdrawal of most U.S. troops from combat. Iraq seems to have dropped out of the President and media's vocabulary now that it can't be portrayed as a failure.
Rrrrrright and Mother Goose is real too/sarc...incidentally, there are no "airmen" on Navy aircraft carriers; Navy carriers are all manned by Sailors (unless, of course, there happened to be a stray tailhook-equipped USAF plane on a swap courtesy tour).
