Borebrush, Thanks for sharing. I can't see the pics for some reason, but again don't need to. I understand their meaning and it pisses me off that they (the Cole) wasn't even mentioned last night on ABC's "Path to 9/11". Regardless, I won't forget it!

Incredible pictures, especially when they come alive with someone telling the story. That was but one terrible occasion on which we lost great people to cowardly terrorism. Why everyone in the world cannot understand who the enemy is, I will never understand.

RIP Brothers!

Bastards! Of course if there's a big earthquake in Yemen and 60,000 people need medical aide and food, whose ships will be the first to steam into port with humanitarian aide?

Borebrush, thanks for sharing that.

My wife and I flew to Lake Tahoe that day to get married, and we had checked in to Caesar's, and were watching TV waiting on the rest of the wedding party to arrive and saw the news about the Cole.
