Refugees new home for the next two days

Refugee's 'Home' for the next two days
"Let's see what the refugees moved into.....U.S.S. Whipple. Whipple is a warship; a very dangerous place to be. The bad news is we could not allow full access to the ship. The good news is the refugees moved into an area of Whipple -- if you take a line from the helo hanger and then all the way to the stern - - about 150 feet...."

"Personally I wouldn't have taken this picture but I'm glad someone else did because it typifies for the two nights the refugees were aboard Whipple, by the end of each night, they had clean clothes, a shower and something warm to eat."
