U.S.S. Cole Anniversary
While the media appears to have forgotten this anniversary, Baby Sis and the U.S. Navy did not. This is the message that was waiting for me today in my inbox:
Six years ago today the USS Cole (DDG 67) was attacked while in port Yemen.
Today, she is on patrol in the Gulf after a high visibility first port visit
in Bahrain - her first in the 5th fleet since 2000. That is what we do.
We don't cower... we take our hits, make sure we take as few as possible,
and stand back on our feet. We never forget, we get more prepared.
And that's what I'm doing out here. Isn't it great?
