CHINANDEGA, Nicaragua, July 14, 2009 – I saw a Navy commander cry the other day.
A red band is placed on the wrist of a child waiting in line to be screened by doctors and nurses from the hospital ship USNS Comfort at Chinandega, Nicaragua, July 11, 2009. The bands allow the patients into the clinic. Hundreds turned out that day, and thousands have been treated during the ship’s final stop in Nicaragua. DoD photo by Fred W. Baker III
