MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 15, 2009 – I left the USNS Comfort July 13 after a little more than three days aboard the hospital ship. It was not long enough.

The hospital ship has been on a tour of Central and South America for the past four months and has treated thousands of patients in seven countries. DoD photo by Fred W. Baker III
