After grabbing several bottles of water delivered by an aircrew from Helicopter Support Squadron 11, a young boy carried his stash out to the middle of the field where the helicopter had landed. When he saw the helicopter start to lift off, he flashed them a No. 1, but never stopped drinking. The recipients of the water are residents of a village on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, isolated by the effects of the Dec. 26 earthquake and resulting tsunamis. Photo by Samantha L. Quigley
