Uss Liberty (agtr-5)
This post is to the memory of thirty-four young men who gave their lives on June 8, 1967, defending the USS Liberty against a sustained air and sea attack by the armed forces of the State of Israel.
During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died and 172 were wounded.

Thank you Rigger for remembering our shipmates from the past.
Yes, this atrocity should never be forgotten.

The June - July VFW magazine has a good write up about the USS Liberty and what the survivors have done and are doing to make sure the men who died will never be forgotten.
