Harry S Truman. * That's the carrier my youngest son John served on as part
of VAW-126 during his Navy service. * Two
deployments to support air ops in Iraq and Afghanistan .

"In October 2004, VAW-126 deployed aboard USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN 75) to
the Arabian Gulf for a second deployment in support of Operation IRAQI
FREEDOM. *During this highly intensive combat cruise, the SEAHAWKS surpassed
all previous records by flying 419 combat missions into Iraq, accumulating
more than 2000 flight hours in support of Operation IRAQI FEEDOM. *In
December 2004, the squadron sent two aircraft from the Arabian Gulf to
Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM for the inauguration of
the first democratically elected president. *This was the first time the
SEAHAWKS supported two separate campaigns simultaneously."
