Yesterday was also the anniversary of Israel’s unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. The world still waits for an apology.

If you’ve never read James Ennes (Liberty crewmember) book “Assault on the Liberty” you should … when I reported for duty on Guam back in the Spring of ’78 I was introducted to the Executive Officer (XO) by a First Class Petty Officer I was walking with … the XO seemed shell shocked and kinda out-of-it … we had to talk extra loud to him as well … after we were out of ear shot of the XO I asked what was up with him … Red told me that Commander Lewis was in the CT space aboard the Liberty when the Israeli torpedo came through the side … it took him years to get over the physical injuries but was still having problems … the Navy was giving him cushy jobs until he did his time and could retire.
