Okay, I wasn't wrong the first time. Sheesh!

Maybe you know what that's about more than I, but I have found that as long as I'm fairly rested, night-time is better for creativity. Maybe it's because of isolation, or the fact that daytime hustle and bustle is missing...

Or maybe some people just do have a streak of night-owl in them!!

NAVAL STATION SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Amphibious warships USS Comstock (LSD 45) and USS Anchorage (LSD 36) are returning to San Diego July 3, ending a successful six-month deployment supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The embarked Marines will return to Camp Pendleton July 2.

Comstock and Anchorage also rescued five Filipino fishermen June 9, who were stranded at sea 313 miles off the Philippine coast since May 15.

The homecoming marks the end of a surge deployment to the Northern Arabian Gulf that began January 17, when a total of seven ships deployed from San Diego as Amphibious Task Force West (AFT West), carrying Marines and equipment to the Arabian Gulf. Comstock and Anchorage carried Marines from 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance and 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Division.

WHY I LOVE MY COUNTRY


I love her magnificent majesty
Her colors: RED, WHITE and BLUE
from her mighty mountain peaks
to her delta lows
and the way her mighty rivers flow
Her frozen land of glaciers
to her deserts barren and cold
I love my mighty county
on whose rocky roads I've run
I love her Pride and Pomp
I love her patience not to tromp
I love her freedom, she lets me be me
with responsibility
and the SISU to pay the dues
to take care of me at all times, but
should I need a hand,
she is grand and lends a hand up
-not a hand out
She said, I could have an education
that I would have to work for it
no one would hand me my grades
It's a prudent decision she has made...

I love her, because I can run 
through the roses at three am
and dream of faraway lands
Be happy in my skin
Oh, yes, I love my homeland
She is Grand
