A plane captain signals the pilot to check the flaps of an F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the Jolly Rogers of Strike Fighter Squadron One Zero Three (VFA-103) aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing Seven (CVW-7) are on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.

God bless our courageous President and Commander in Chief and awesome troops!
A loud and rowdy WOOHOO for our troops!
The war on terror is being fought on many fronts, though some here in the States seem unaware of it. But many more of us follow the news closely and ARE aware, and are proud of all our troops. They're making a difference and for that, we are grateful.
BTTT
