Landing Zone... Captain Charles G. Grow, USMC Acquisition Number: 2011.64.1 Medium: Acrylic A Marine Sikorsky CH-53E Sea Stallion awaits the return of a patrol dispatched to investigate a weapons cache near Grand Riviere du Nord in Haiti, September 1994. As recalled by the artist, “This particular mission involved the successful search and seizure of weapons in a little north Haitian town. There was an overwhelming sense of nostalgia as we patrolled through an area occupied by Marines several decades earlier. Locals cheered us as we hauled away weapons that had been used to suppress them. The CH-53s enabled us to insert and conduct the mission quickly and safely; no Marines or Haitians were injured.”
