clings tightly to her sick mother

Island of Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 16, 2005) - A young Indonesian girl clings tightly to her sick mother in the cabin of a MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter, assigned to the "Gunbearers" of Helicopter Combat Support Squadron Eleven (HC-11), Detachment Two, as they are transported to Banda Aceh in order to facilitate medical treatment. Helicopters and Sailors assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Carrier Strike Group 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 3rd Class M. Jeremie Yoder
