A U.S. Navy sailor carries a sleeping child in a stroller from a landing craft utility boat to the USS Trenton (LPD 14) as the ship operates off the coast of Lebanon on July 21, 2006. At the request of the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon and at the direction of the Secretary of Defense, the United States Central Command and elements of Task Force 59 are assisting with the departure of U.S. citizens from Lebanon.
