Welcome Home USS Intrepid
1969
Intrepid Museum
New York, United States
A sign on the pier in Norfolk, Virginia, sits ready to welcome the aircraft carrier Intrepid upon its return from a deployment to Vietnam.
Intrepid sailors were greeted by family and friends who gathered to welcome them. These homecomings, unique to naval personnel, shielded them from the protesters who often gathered at commercial airports to confront returning veterans from other branches of service.
