Twenty-five years ago today, Korean Air Lines flight 007 enroute from New York City to Seoul, South Korea was shot down by the Soviets.

[Veto!]

I’ll never forget photos of a Korean family standing at the shore praying over the sea that held their loved ones. In fact, I often remember them when I’m standing on the shore of a different sea.

May God bless them all.

I remember this.

I was in the Navy, stationed on the USS Sterett, CG-31, in Subic Bay, Philippines.

We pulled out and went immediately to the area where it went down and played face off with the Russian Navy for two weeks.

It will be interesting to see the reaction here.

This, and fedgov’s abandonment of the POW/MIA’s raise serious questions about our elected leaders.

What a flashback! 24 years ago today, I flew on the same flight. We didn’t realize it was the one-year anniversary until some people mentioned it in the airport. Needless to say, the flight was very quiet and subdued once we were airborne. My heart goes out to the families of all the victims.

My father used to take this flight at least three time per year. It made an impression on him and me. Never forget.

Never forget that slime-bucket leftist weekly The Nation blamed it all on the CIA, claiming they had the plane go off course deliberately to test Soviet defenses.

I got really annoyed a few years ago when the History Channel recycled an old UK "documentary" that claimed the US was responsible and caused it to happen, long after the flight recorders had been recovered showing that the crew had no idea what was going on and the plane was shot down over international waters.
