Residents of Meulaboh, Sumatra, Indonesia

Meulaboh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 6, 2005) - Residents of Meulaboh, Sumatra, Indonesia gather around Aviation Warfare Systems Operator 2nd Maxwell Bjerke as he shows them a leaflet on helicopter safety. The leaflet tells them in their language the dangers of getting to close to a helicopter. Bjerke is assigned to the "Golden Falcons" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Two (HS-2). Helicopters assigned to Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) and Sailors from Abraham Lincoln are supporting Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian operation effort in the wake of the Tsunami that struck South East Asia. The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Jordon R. Beesley
