Bravo to Sgt Tim of the 9/11 families:

SgtTim911 Tim Sumner
Rename the LPD-26 to the U.S.S. Miguel “T.J.” Terrazas: killed 11/19/2005 in Haditha by AQ-led Iraqi insurgents nomurthaship.com

Sgt Tim, Much thanks for putting the icon on your website and for your brilliant suggestion on naming this ship:
Icon up on http://www.911familiesforamerica.org/

If any name should be on that ship, it is the name of this noble Hero who gave his life that morning in Haditha!

How disgusting that Sec Mabus would name a Navy ship after Cesar Chavez, who described his two short years in the military like this:
“Later, Chávez described his experience in the military as “the two worst years of my life.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez

Now Mabus wants to name a ship after a corrupt Ex Marine who turned his back on his Brothers. John Murtha never understood the meaning of Semper Fi! He called our Haditha Marines “cold blooded killers” before an investigation was ever complete. The pain and suffering he caused these brave Marines and their families was devastating! John Murtha is dead and we are left with his traitorous name and his betrayal of his Brothers. His name belongs in the Hall of Traitors, not on a Navy ship carrying noble men!

Mabus is a liberal ACLU/NAACP sellout. I had dealings with him while he was Governor and he was an absolute buttwipe. There is no doubt he is in Obama’s pocket (or genuflecting at Obamas’ seat).

Yeah I know, I had to do a little searching but found out why Medgar Evers had ship named for him. It was because he promised, while he was Gov., Mrs Evers he would make sure Medgar was remembered forever. Like 40,000 streets,buildings and airport weren’t enough.

The war may have ended in 1975, but my DH graduated GA Tech with an ROTC Army commission in 1973.

The RIFs were already in place at that time. He was not given the option of active duty for any period, only an 8 year Reserve obligation. If I recall correctly, he was a sophomore when he elected to commit to the program, and the draft ended shortly thereafter.

One of his classmates had a full ride ROTC scholarship and he was RIF'd too. Reserve duty only.

If the Army was drawing down then, I'm sure the Navy was too, and probably sooner.

Oh, dear Lord!

Murtha is the very LAST person who deserves this honor!

“Save Us from Mabus Mississippi” bump!

My Army ROTC orders in 1973 were for 6 months active duty for training and 8 years Reserve commitment in the Corps of Engineers. Even though the Army provided for me to obtain a Pilots License in college. A Navy Pilot recruiter got me set up for an inter - service transfer. Reported to Pensacola with about 20 others with near same story in Oct 1973.

The Navy pipeline was still wide open.

I’m going to send letters. This so pisses me off. That delta bravo shouldn’t have a ship named after him. Scum!
