Pride is the word that comes to mind when reading the stories of these brave American fighters.May they all Rest In Peace!
....Could not agree with you more.....! also love your tag line... as for me... U. S.Navy “boot camp” summer 1961...out in the fleet after that... I would say without any hesitation that virtually all if the guys I served with (yes...no female sailors at that time...) would have given their lives for their shipmates as we would have given ours for them...can’t say I can say that today... I guess the mark of our “progress” today is how many transgender sailors we have in our fleet... gee; how many transgenders do the Chinese navy have....?
