    It is odd that the world and other select few forget how many times we are directly attacked by what seems to be the same origin.

    Good that we remember that day. One that is too often dismissed. Thanks BlvdCruiser!

    Surprisingly there was a short commentary on the local Philly news about it yesterday.

    Lakiba Palmer was one of the servicemembers killed on the uss Cole, She was a young Lady from San Diego who was a seaman Apprentice. She had been in the navy less than a year at the time of her death. The local news ran a huge story last night about her an i can remember when it happened.The Navy has completely changed how a ship now enters port and exits port and how they are also tied up. Too bad the changes were not implemented sooner so that brave servicemembers like Miss Palmer would still be here. RIP to all who lost there lives on the Cole you will never be forgotten nor will your service to this country.
