“Thank God that the navy was able to rescue all three of them!!’
Thank God for our troops. Thank Navy training and dedication for the rescue.

I may be off on the exact percentage but I recall spending about half my time at sea and in port working on safety, damage control, rescue etc. It was not my rating but I did get assigned to the fire party for about a year. We trained and trained and trained on these very things. If you study WWII Naval action, the one thing we got from the Japs kamikaze attacks were amazing lessons on how to save ship and crew NO MATTER WHAT. Even pretty early in the war ‘down pilot rescue’ was an art that we perfected.
I don’t know if this was specific to my ship but these sort of items were drummed into our young skulls constantly.

AMEN! Thank God for our Navy and for all of our service men and women. Thank God for their families who are left at home while they go on their tour of duty. May God Bless and protect every single one of them, and may He comfort those who have lost loved ones in the war.!
Thank you for serving to protect America! I really do appreciate it. :o)
