STORYLINE:
US President George W Bush arrived aboard the aircraft U-S-S Abraham Lincoln on Thursday, ready to make a speech officially ending the war in Iraq.
After touching down on the carrier on a small Navy jet, Bush met members of the Lincoln's crew, who are heading home from active service in the Persian Gulf.
Later Bush will address the nation about the war in Iraq.
White House officials say Bush will declare major military operations over and the Iraqi people freed.
More than five-thousand sailors and Marines aboard the ship are looking forward to seeing their families again tomorrow, after nearly ten months at sea.
