Okay..I'll reply to my own post...
Saw in the paper a few days after I posted this, on the front page a huge write up on the Cole coming out of the yards *finally* and the fanfare that went with it.
The attack on the Cole I know is a touchy subject...shouldnt have ever happened, etc etc...BUT *I* for one am proud to see our ship sail again, proud to see our sailors once again on deck and ready to do what they have to do.
I'm a little dissappointed that here I am (the *gasp* civilian and not even a Navy wife) happy to see this, and seeing it as a reminder that we will continue to keep going in the face of anything..to keep sailing...and none of you Navy guys said a thing.
How very sad.
