The humanitarian aid was good. It was. I know the food was getting to people. Now if it was enough, I don’t know, but planes were coming in non stop all during the day until last light. All the Hercs were coming from the different countries loaded and as they couldn’t get them out faster and loaded onto the trucks and we were escorting the trucks down. That was really good. That was, we got the airport open and we started getting food to the, to the locals. Which was really good because they were, their markets were destroyed, their food. They really didn’t have a lot and you could tell cause they were never outside to go shopping as we would be on a Saturday or a Sunday or to go to a market. It was deserted because of the fighting going on. As soon as you’d step out...boom, but once we started rolling in. It didn’t stop the fighting, but it actually cut back quite a bit. Like we noticed after a couple of days of doing it how it decreased. They realized that we were there to help.
