Nine years ago yesterday.
From the commemoration at NOB:
“The families of the USS Cole have waited nine years for justice to be served to those who attacked USS Cole. And although their wait continues, today’s anniversary honors the 17 sailors who were the first casualties in the War on Terror. They will forever be remembered for their sacrifice in service to their country on a ship far from its homeport.”
It seems folks forget about the USS COLE (DDG67) and the sacrifices her sailors made that day. Look at the pictures of the damage, read the reports of what happened…this is why a few of my BRs (John, Neal) and many others are still in Afghanistan.
