ANOTHER HAPPY HOMECOMING

ILLUSTRATION: ABOVE: Cathy Bush gently strokes the face of her husband, Lt.

j.g. Thomas D. Bush, as if to make sure he is for real, before the

two exchange flowers and an embrace at Oceana.

RIGHT: Mimi Wilcox, with children Ben and Margaret, anxiously await

the return of husband and father Lt. Mark Wilcox.

A crowd at Oceana Naval Air Station waves in excitement as F-14

Fighter Squadron 32, the Swordsmen, does a flyover in formation

after returning April 13 from a six-month deployment in the

Mediterranean with the Eisenhower battle group.
