My Father was a cook in the army and in England for D-Day...I had the privilege to attend the 50th Anniversary on the USS Harlan County....spent the summer attending liberation celebrations in villages all over France.
My second Commanding Officer was Weapons Officer on the Belknap during the collision...horrific story...the Belknap’s Yardarm got caught in the catwalk of the Kennedy ripping apart some fueling stations...this caused aviation fuel to pour onto Belknap fueling the fire.
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, announced on Wednesday that he is not seeking re-election in 2024 in a statement bashing both President Biden and former President Donald Trump while calling for “a new generation of leaders.”
“I have spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another. At the end of another term, I’d be in my mid-eighties. Frankly, it’s time for a new generation of leaders. They’re the ones that need to make the decisions that will shape the world they will be living in,” Romney said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
