We should never forget any of our brave military that give their lives to keep us free!

Thank you for reminding us!
This was such a tragedy, yet it seems it's been forgotten.

I remember, so sad for the families. My husband is retired, so I know what it is like to worry at home.

My husband was part of VFA-81 deployed with them when this happened.

We were just married and he deployed. I received a phone call waking me up that said " What boat is Daniel on... they just bombed a boat and some sailors are dead" My heart sunk.....

As it turned out the Cole was part of the group but had broken away.
