| We leave our little tent city nestled in suburban Inchon. The bottom line of the sign reads "Gateway to Home." We are loaded on trucks headed toward the harbor. The wait is over. We are finally on our way home. | We walk, with our gear, down towards a floating dock with a landing craft at the bottom. It's low tide and you can see the channel cut in the mud out to a troopship on the horizon next to the tall pole at left. | |

| A landing craft full of troops arrives at the pier from an unloading troopship. I don't know if they are coming off the troopship we are leaving on, but I would guess that is probably where they from. | Fresh meat unloads from the landing craft carrying their gear to start their tour of duty in Korea. As soon as they leave the landing craft we load onto it for our trip out to our troopship. It is good to be leaving. | |

| We pull away from land. This is the last time I'll walk the soil of Korea. | The troopship (a converted WWII Victory Ship) lies at anchor on the horizon in the middle of the picture. | |
