UNDER ATTACK

A boarding team from HNMLS Rotterdam was making an approach on a suspect dhow near the coast when they came under fire from ashore and from the dhow itself. Rotterdam returned fire in accordance with Rules of Engagement, during which the dhow was seen to ignite and crew members were observed leaping into the water. One crew member of the dhow was killed in this action and 25 people were subsequently rescued from the water by Rotterdam. Commodore Ben Bekkering, the commander of the NATO Task Force, said that the Rotterdam and her boats remained under sustained fire from the shore throughout, even while attempting to rescue the crew of the stricken dhow and one of Rotterdam’s rigid inflatable boats was damaged.

Good evening, Luv...wonderful “Welcome Home” pics.

More snow, Sand....d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Those older cars have such looooong hoods.

[SandRat]

We haven't got any, so I assume you did. Were you singing Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow???

Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Does your head feel lighter? I got your hair cut too. Do you have the itchies? I do.

New furniture....oh boy! It is all in its assigned place?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness...someone went to a lot of work. LOL!

Thanks, Kathy.

We just had a heavy duty half hour of snow....it has stopped.
Did you ever get your predicted snow?

[Jet Jaguar]

We did. About three inches. And here I thought Spring had sprung...

[Kathy in Alaska]

The x-ray one is so true. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

10” Saturday, more than that Monday, and just now an inch in 30 minutes.
Thank goodness it has stopped. I’ve had enough for this year.

[laplata]

Thanks for the chuckles.

[Kathy in Alaska]

a few more.......

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[laplata]

Very true.

[Kathy in Alaska]
