These particular sailors have a very special place in history. They were the first to successfully use a submarine to sink an enemy vessel. They showed a very unique kind of valor and bravery. They knew that the risks were enormous, but chose to do it anyway. We should honor them for what they accomplished and ultimately sacrificed. It should not matter what the cause was. Politcal correctness is diminishing our ability to accurately learn about and from our historical past. Our zeal for inclusiveness and diversity is dividing us further. We cannot ignore our past. Our past has influenced our present and will influence our future.
