USS Carl Vinson goes to save Haiti! Great footage!

As I sit here watching the news this morning on the Haiti earthquake I see the good old USA come to the rescue, (again). Dispatching the USS Carl Vinson, the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), amphibious dock landing ships USS Fort McHenry (LSD 43) and USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) to get underway as soon as possible from their Norfolk, Va. homeports to conduct a Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Response (HA/DR). I don't see any anti-USA fanatics coming forward? Gee, they must be busy at home building suicide bombs or abusing their women and children. Oh, how humanitarian of them! Bless the greatest country in the universe, USA!

why thank you AmericanMale....my lil Bro is on there. This was a huge shock for all of us...but we are very proud.

[AmericanMale1953]

Our prayers to your brother - a great American helping others. And prayers to your family I'm sure you are so close and connected to this great humanitarian effort.

[AmericanMale1953]

I would like to say to all of you who have friends, family members, or loved ones on this ship or involved in any other way in the mission to Haiti that you reign amongst the greatest in the human condition. You all deserve the highest respect from every human being on this planet. Every politician from every nation owes you a huge debt, every single one of you! IMHO
