Sailors from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan pose for a group photo after working on a Habitat for Humanity house in Thailand. The house is being built for a young girl named Earn who has lost both of her parents and lives with her grandmother who is severely arthritic. The project was sponsored by Habitat for humanity and The Rotary Club of Patong Beach. The Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group is on a routine deployment in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility. Operating in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean, the U.S. 7th Fleet is the largest of the forward-deployed U.S. fleets covering 52 million square miles, with approximately 50 ships, 120 aircraft and 20,000 Sailors and Marines assigned at any given time.
