How can Americans best remember those killed on that horrible day in 1967?
Some details:
A retired college professor who has sailed approximately 8,000 miles to the eastern Mediterranean is expected to arrive at his destination within the next 24 hours: the exact location where Israeli forces tried to sink a US Navy ship in 1967, killing or injuring over 200 American servicemen.
Didnt you know?
Read on then,....
Or if you are one of those who denys history, then call me all the usual names and be done with it already.
Larry Toenjes, 74 years old, is planning to hold a memorial service for those killed on board the ship, the USS Liberty. Israel shelled and torpedoed the ship, an electronics surveillance ship, in an attack that lasted as long as the attack on Pearl Harbor.
While Israel and its partisans have tried to claim that the attack was “a mistake,” a 2003 inquiry by an INDEPENDENT COMMISSION led by a retired FOUR STAR NAVY ADMIRAL, a Rear Admiral, and the highest ranking Medal of Honor recipient in the U.S., a Marine General, announced on Capitol Hill that ALL THE EVIDENCE indicated that the attack had been INTENTIONAL, had consisted of an ACT OF WAR against the United States by ISRAEL, and that a COVER UP had been ORDERED by the White House.
In addition, the commission found that rescue flights had been recalled by President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. While almost no media covered the Capitol Hill briefing, a full record of its findings are in the Congressional Record and Stars and Stripes military newspaper.
Mr Toenjes, A TRUE PATRIOT.... who departed from Galveston, Texas, almost four months ago, is accompanied by a Marine veteran who joined him in Malta.
Toenjes will remain 12 miles offshore, in international waters, where the attack took place.
In a column published by the Galveston News, Toenjes explained that he was undertaking the voyage for two primary purposes: to honor the men who died in service to their country and to try to draw attention to attempts by their surviving families and crew mates to obtain the full government investigation that is legally required but that has been blocked by the powerful Israel Lobby.
Toenjes’ trip is being tracked on the website of the Council for the National Interest (CNI). When he arrives at his destination, the CNI website will stream live his memorial service, which will be carried by satellite phone to a radio program hosted by a Liberty survivor, Phil Tourney.
OF COURSE,...the national media have IGNORED this voyage (I wonder why eh?), Toenjes and Liberty survivors hope that the American public will learn about his undertaking by word of mouth, blogs, and social media like Yahoo Answers etc.

Shouldnt ALL AMERICANS be supporting him in his efforts to remember Americans who were killed in INTERNATIONAL WATERS,...By Israel?
All thoughts welcome.

Probably before you were born.
Go and try to wake up,..please.
Answer: The "Liberty Incident" was the product of gross incompetence by BOTH SIDES. Here is as detailed an account as YA allows space for regarding what really happened and why:
In June 1967 the NSA without notifying Israel or even U.S. 6th Fleet redirected the signals intelligence ship USS Liberty to operate just 12 instead of 100 miles off the coast of Sinai, in a war zone, in a lane not used by commercial shipping & declared off-limits by Egypt (i.e. only Egyptian warships were likely to be found there). At 6:00am on 6/8/67 an IDF patrol aircraft spotted the Liberty and reported her hull number GTR-5 to IDF Naval HQ where an hour later she was identified as American and marked as a neutral ship on the manual plotting (map) table with a wooden model. The problem with these old (pre-computer) manual plots is that they quickly become clogged with outdated and erroneous information and need to be cleared frequently. At 11:00am the watch changed at IDF Naval HQ and the new shift followed procedure by CLEARING THE BOARD, but did so without bothering to check if the neutral ship was still present. They simply assumed it had moved on! While just one of the many mistakes made that morning by both sides this typically appalling lack of basic professionalism is what ultimately sealed Liberty's fate. So yes, while the accusation that the IDF knew what and where the USS Liberty was is true, it is also meaningless as after 11:00am everyone in Israel who knew gone home to bed. For all practical purposes the Liberty had ceased to exist.
1/2 hour later panicky inexperienced IDF reservists at El Arish reported an explosion which they blamed erroneously on naval gunfire. The plotting board at IDF naval HQ was clear, showing no neutral or friendly ships so it was naturally assumed ANY ship in the area was hostile and the likely cause of this reported shelling. This set in motion a series of badly coordinated, virtually unplanned and haphazard attacks using resources wholly unsuited to the task. First a flotilla of 3 small Motor Torpedo Boats were dispatched (with considerable difficulty and delay) to intercept the phantom Egyptian warship, approaching the Liberty just as she was at the end of her "racetrack" patrol pattern and turning about back towards Egypt. The MTB commander interpreted this course change as an Egyptian warship turning to run for home so he pursued. Unable to catch the "fleeing enemy vessel" air support was called in and 2 flights of fighters on ground-attack missions were diverted to this effort. None of the pilots had any training in ship recognition or attack and were not armed for the job, having only guns and Napalm, not the AP rockets and delayed-action bombs one would use when planning to attack a ship. The jets arrived to look for the fleeing Egyptian warship, made a couple of passes at 3,000 feet altitude, saw no Israeli markings on the ship and therefore identified it as Egyptian - a Hunt or Z class destroyer. The ID was wrong but this was not their fault. They were not looking to see what ship this was but rather what Egyptian ship this was and for what little they knew about ships they had one. Remember, there was no other traffic on the plot so they were not expecting to find anything else but an Egyptian warship. At 1:58pm the aircraft were cleared to attack, which lasted 14 minutes until one of the pilots recognized Latin, not Arabic markings on the now burning ship, radioed the information to IDF Air Force HQ and broke off. This information was then passed to IDF Naval HQ but this was 1967, there was a war going on and the WW2 surplus IDF communications system was clogged with a massive backlog of messages. It would take another 2 hours before the Navy knew what the Air Force already knew - that USS Liberty was not an enemy ship.
25 minutes after the end of the air attack the MTB's finally caught-up the burning Liberty from astern and flashed a recognition signal. USS Liberty gave a vague reply and an (unauthorized) burst of machine gun fire. The MTB commander naturally interpreted this as an Egyptian ship fighting back so he attacked at 2:45pm with his elderly array of light guns & WW2 surplus torpedoes. 15 minutes later while circling the Liberty one of the boats made out the hull number GTR-5 in Latin, immediately ordered a cease-fire and offered assistance. Hardly the actions of someone intent on sinking a ship he knew all along was American. Subsequently the Israeli government paid compensation to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack and to the wounded as well as settlement for the for damage to the ship.
It is a curious thing the 1987 attack by our then-ally Iraq on the USS Stark, which killed more American's than the attack on USS Liberty is virtually forgotten today. In 4 years I have never seen anyone ask "Why did Iraq attack the Stark" on YA. But the Liberty comes up here at least weekly. Why is that?

The Pearl Harbor Anniversary ........ was there one ?
Saw nothing this year on news bulletins about this infamous attack (as rendered to be by President Roosevelt) on the anchored US Fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 07 1941!
Whereas the Arizona was never raised. I believe all the others that were sunk, were eventually raised and a few returned to active duty and 1/2 also survived the war!
Apart from the Arizona memorial, are there any others still around from that awful day?
Was it in fact remembered at all? Im sure there are still survivors alive today and what form did the commemorative service take!?
Answer: Yes, it was remembered. There was much talk of it here on YA! I also saw several things on TV regarding 'The Day That Will Live in Infamy..."
As for the USS Arizona, there was a reason it wasn't raised. All those brave Sailors and Marines who perished deserved to rest in peace. That was the consensus of most folks when the issue was considered.

opinions on the opening of my story, some advice perhaps?
Approaching voices snapped me out of the trance. I blinked then looked up from my book. The warm daylight, tinged green by the forest canopy above, was filtered across the leafy ground around me. The sound of ominous insects and rustling of the trees was replaced by protruding voices coming closer. I folded the book and emerged from the shadowed spot of the gnarled, bliss oak tree. The voices were getting close, I was able to make out that there two. The rowdy voices approached and I could now hear the sound of their shoes thumping against the ground. The two people were in sight and my paranoia was replaced with a smile on my face. It was my two good friends Joe and Ryan. Their eyes meeting mine they suddenly became animated.
‘Where have you been? We’ve been looking for you!’ Joe exclaimed
‘I’ve been here the whole time’
‘Well how are we supposed to know you’re in the middle of the bloody woods?’ Ryan added
‘I come here for some peace guys, it’s a beautiful tranquil area, only place I can actually think’
‘Cut the crap Miller, we gotta’ go now’ Joe interrupted
‘Why?’ I said almost startled at their urgency
‘There’s some military guy here, he’s recruiting, I think we are joining the army’. When i heard those words coming out of Joe’s mouth, it seemed like the whole world had come to a halt, the sound of the wind howling, trees crackling, birds singing, I could hear none of those soothing, quiescent sounds, instead, I could hear the sound of perpetual gunfire, desperate cries of men and the Earth dying at our feet. You see, the year was 1943 May 4th, World War Two had been going on for four years now, though it seemed more than double that, and the US had joined in ’41. Many of my friends had been recruited but it never really occurred to me that I would be as well. I liked life here, I lived in a small town, Alabama. I heard stories of the war, stories that would keep you up at night, stories of the ruthless Japs and Germans. I had an older brother who was fighting in France, he wrote a lot of letters to us. I remember a specific one, he wrote about how he was marching through a small French town with his company, and that all of a sudden hell broke loose and they were the subject of German fire. Most of his company was killed, he managed to escape with a few other survivors, but his best friend had been shot in the back, and he died in my brother’s arms.
‘Hey Miller, get your ass moving man!’
We headed back the way they had come, my mind still focused on the war. The sound of a twig snapping under my foot reminded me of the sound of gun firing. When we exited the woods and entered the premises of the town, there were military vehicles and a number of motionless soldiers standing with their guns locked in the grip of their arms. I couldn’t help but think ‘that will be me’. We were told to assemble in the town hall where we would be briefed by a sergeant. We were being herded like sheep, one of the soldiers was smoking a cigarette watching us like he was the shepherd. There were a good forty of us, all familiar faces of course. We were seated on the floor and awaited for the arrival of the sergeant. The sound of footsteps signified his arrival, sending shivers to my spine. I looked at his cumbrous, black boots, my eyes making their way up his body, he was dressed in a typical army uniform, which possessed several medals and his rank on both arms. His hair was combed back and his lips held a fine moustache, his voice as deep as his appearance.
‘Alright you useless maggots, two years ago those Japs made an attack on Pearl Harbor, and they have since been attacking constantly, as we have to them. Recent intel tells us that the Japs have developed a military base on a remote island which is where they will plan and execute an attack on the US. It is our job to stop them, and stop them we will. Which is why we are gonna’ need your help boys, I’m afraid our numbers are depleting, we need reinforcements. Which is why we have come here, you boys are now gonna’ be part of the US army and will protect your country. I’m afraid you will not have much training, it will only be basic, but we will do everything to prepare you for the attack. Come 18th May, we are gonna ship you out to this island where you will do all you can to prevent this Japanese attack. Tomorrow morning at 0800 hours, you will be picked up and sent to a military training camp, say your good byes to your loved ones tonight and God be with you’
With that the sergeant marched back out of the room leaving it in sheer silence. It took a few moments for us to get our bearings on the situation but after one man got up and walked out, the rest of us followed.
Answer: Do you really think they said crap back then? I'm sure they had other words they used regularly that you might want to look into. These books take a lot of research. Before you really start, I'd advise you to do a ton of research. Plus, when I first read it, I thought this guy was a girl.
Remember, until you give the identifying details, a reader will make assumptions and visual images that are hard to erase when the writer gives different details. Keep that in mind.

Today is the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attacks and i was wondering how everyone is remembering. If you knew any one if your a survivor. I am fascinated by WWII because of well the atrocity of it all. But i digress anyways whats your opinion on this.
Answer: It should be remembered. Just like D Day. It used to be remembered more it seems. Yes, time passes but it shouldn't be forgotten. You'll never see the Google logo change for this day, or for D Day. I remember last D Day, Google had changed their logo on their home page to remembering some artist's birthday instead.
There is nothing political about remembering soldiers that died fighting for our freedom. At least there shouldn't be, but seems some people think otherwise.

What is THIS about? PLEASE?
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (Achieve3000, September 13, 2011). On July 19, 2011, U.S. officials hosted an ancient Japanese tea ceremony steeped in tradition at the site of a downed World War II-era battleship in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ceremony symbolized how far the relationship between the U.S. and Japan has come since Japan attacked Pearl Harbor 70 years ago.
The tea ritual was held inside the USS Arizona Memorial, a gleaming white, open-air building that sits atop the battleships sunken hull. The hull still holds the remains of more than 900 of the 1,177 sailors killed when the vessel was sunk by Japanese planes on December 7, 1941 in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. In total, some 2,400 U.S. sailors, Marines, and soldiers lost their lives at Pearl Harbor. The next day, on December 8th, Congress authorized President Franklin D. Roosevelts request to declare war on Japan. This action also prompted the nations involvement in World War II.
The idea for holding the symbolic ritual at the memorial came from Jean Ariyoshi, the wife of former Hawaii Governor George Ariyoshi, the first Japanese-American governor in the U.S. The tea ceremony is an ancient Japanese tradition. It encourages contemplation, reflection, and respect for others. Tea ceremonies are also events of peace: Samurai in medieval Japanese times would remove their swords and leave them outside before entering a tea room. Organizers hoped the ceremony would promote world peace and reconciliation between the U.S. and Japan. The two nations were once enemies but have been strong allies for more than 50 years. Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie said the ceremony was a nod to both Japanese culture and the strong mutual respect between the two countries. Abercrombie added that the tea ritual for peace also came at a timely moment amid war and conflict around the world."The United States and Japan may now share a strong mutual respect, but other people and countries are warring with as much [hostility] and mutual misunderstanding as we once experienced ourselves," said Abercrombie.The ceremony was led by Genshitsu Sen, a Urasenke School of Tea grand tea master. He served in the Japanese naval air force during World War II. Sen, 88, prepared two bowls of green tea—one for the Pearl Harbor war dead, and one for world peace. He took the bowls to the memorials shrine room. There, the names of U.S. sailors and Marines are chiseled into the wall. Sen placed the bowls on a wooden table and bowed deeply before the names in a sign of respect. He later said a prayer before the wall, with his hands held together.
Sen said he long wanted to offer a prayer for world peace at the memorial because its where so many people died in the Japanese attack. He also wanted to make sure people remembered the events of December 7, 1941.
"People are slowly forgetting that this happened here 70 years ago," Sen commented. "We shouldnt forget. Its an important duty for all of us to pass on whats in our hearts to our children and grandchildren so its not forgotten."
Three survivors of the 1941 attack attended the ritual, including Sterling Cale, a hospital corpsman who was assigned to the shipyard pharmacy at Pearl Harbor. Cale, 89, said the ceremony filled him with joy.

English Paper #2

We have all been touched by the disaster of September 11th in some form or fashion. September 11 was a sequence of premeditated suicide attacks. Nineteen hijackers intentionally crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. Just outside Washington, D.C., a third plane crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a meadow near Shanksville, Pennsylvania initially headed toward Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, there were no survivors from any of the flights.
Anyone alive during the dramatic events of 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was shot, always remembers what they were doing on that shocking day. In similar fashion, because of the severity and extreme news coverage, if you were old enough to understand what happened on September 11th, you can remember what you were doing, where you were, and what you thought about during and immediately after the attacks very specifically.
I was a fifth-grader when the attacks happened. I was in math class. I remember my teachers whispering a little, but I went to a school for “bad kids” so the teachers were often whispering, and I thought nothing of it. Our teacher turned on the news after another teacher wheeled it in on a cart and positioned it in the front of the classroom. In my class of just seven kids, we thought we were getting a treat; it was not movie day that day so we were surprised. When I saw those first pictures, I was very uneasy. I didn’t like seeing other people hurt, crying, dying, and leaping out of windows toward their death. I remember feeling like it was movie day after all and we were watching a horror, but the news is factual and real. I just sat with and watched, as did my classmates. It was really quiet.
At our age of eleven, we could not handle the idea that our country was potentially no longer safe, and that we were about to go to war. I just saw planes hitting a building. I did not understand that thousands of people were in there dying, or that we were going to get tangled into two wars because of it. I did not even think I knew it was an attack, I figured it was an awful accident.
When the news announced that a second one hit, I thought about my father. My dad works at a school in Upper Darby, PA. Back then, I guess I possessed no real sense of direction. At that age I did not know that Upper Darby and New York City were over one hundred miles apart. Our principal came on the PA system and told the students to remain in class, but that we would be leaving school early today. Though we were told to stay in class, I needed to use the bathroom. I remember saying, after getting permission, “If you hear anything about Upper Darby, then come get me!” That day, I mostly remember being scared for my Dad. That night, I played with my younger siblings and my parents kept the television on Channel 6 Action News.
Every year since then, I gain more understanding as to what happened. I truly value this country and my freedoms. I feel proud to be able to tell my children my young experience when they learn about 9/11 in their schools, similar to when my parents told me about the day JFK was killed, and when my grandma told me about Pearl Harbor. I can recall what subject I was in, the faces of the people I was with, and the sad emotion I felt because although I did not understand exactly what was happening, I knew it was very bad. I will forever remember that day, and carry its teachings with me always.
Answer: (Just a word to the wise to not reveal personal information on a message board or chatroom as no one really knows who is behind the monitor :)
It's a wonderful essay and the reader can certainly relate to you:
- With the second sentence, the term 'sequence' is usually followed by (of) 'events' as opposed to "...a sequence of premeditated suicide attacks."
- I wouldn't use the term 'fashion' more than once in the essay.
- Regarding the wording of the sentence "...because of the severity and extreme news coverage", 'severity' is usually followed by "of the situation".
- Please remember to use past tense such as instead of "...old enough to understand what happened..." say "...what had happened" :) On that note, instead of 'understand', perhaps you can substitute that term with 'process'.
- "I was a fifth grader..." sentence may be condensed to "I was a fifth grader when the attacks had occurred while I was in math class.
- "...remember my teachers whispering a little...", how about substituting a phrase for 'a little' as it sounds rather colloquial (informal).
- I agree with the other postee that 'bad kids' is also a bit colloquial (perhaps instead 'children with emotional problems') though I don't even know if you should even keep that in the essay or if it's necessary due to the stigma, know what I mean.
- "...after another teacher wheeled it in on a cart..." The reader will probably not know what 'it' refers to (television - and remembering not to use contractions or abbreviations in the essay).
- "...we thought that we were getting a treat; it was not movie day..." I would capitalize 'movie day' (and anywhere else in the essay) and try not to use 'that' more than once in the sentence.
- "When I saw those first pictures..." can be changed to 'When I saw those first images on the television screen, I was quite uneasy' (or 'was just horrified') or such.
- "I didn't like seeing other people hurt..." - the phrase "I didn't like" sounds too informal.
- "I remember feeling like it was movie day after all and we were watching a horror..." can be changed to "I remember feeling as though it was Movie Day and that we were actually watching a horror film..."
- "I just sat (with?) and watched" can have more description.
- "It was really quiet." Perhaps "it was extremely quiet."
- Instead of "At our age of eleven, we could not handle the idea that our country was potentially no longer safe, and that we were about to go to war." I would slightly reword it (and perhaps take out "that"), "At the age of eleven, my classmates and I could not grasp the notion that our country was potentially no longer safe, and we were about to go to war!"
- Instead of "I did not understand that thousands of people were in there dying, or that we were going to get tangled into two wars, because of it", how about slightly rewording it to, "I did not understand that thousands of people were in those buildings dying or having been severely injured or that we, as Americans, were going to get tangled into two wars due to that abominable act of terrorism.
- Instead of "I did not even think that I knew it was an attack, I figured it was an awful accident." How about "I did not even realize that it was an on the United States, and I figured that it was merely an awful accident."
- Instead of "When the news announced that a second one was hit, I thought about my father. My dad works at a school in Upper Darby, PA. Back then, I guess I possessed no real sense of direction" perhaps the sentences may be slightly revamped (and perhaps ommitting the city in which your father works so that it's not revealing too much personal information) to "When an announcement on the news told of how the second tower was hit by an airplane, I immediately thought about my father. My dad works at a school in Pennsylvania. At that time, I did not realize how much of a distance that he had worked from the crash site that had occurred in Shanksville, PA."
- The last paragraph, starting with the line "Our principal...", how about writing out what the 'PA' stands for such as "Our principal announced on the Public Address (PA) system that everyone should remain in class but that the school day would be a lot shorter" or something to that effect.
- I'm not sure that you need to mention about 'the bathroom' or restroom though perhaps you can word it, "Even though we were told to remain in our classroom, I needed to use the restroom. After getting permission to do so, I remember saying, 'If you hear anything about...'" (if you want to keep the city in there, that's your decision :)
- Try not to start so many sentences with "I" ;)
- "Every year since then, I gain more understanding as to what happened" how about "Each year since the cowardly act of terrorism, I gain a much better understanding as to what happened ."
- The sentence that starts with "I feel proud to be able to tell my children...", how about not putting "my" more than once such as "I feel proud to be able to tell my children about when I was younger and what I had learned about that frightful day of events when they learn about 9/11 in their schools. My experience is similar to when my parents had told me about the day that JFK was assassinated and when my grandmother told me about Pearl Harbor."
- With mentioning JFK, I would put the acronym "JFK" in parenthesis when first mentioning his name at the beginning of the paper.
- Re: the sentence "I can recall what subject I was in..." How about "I can recall the exact subject being taught, the faces of the people that I was with and the sad emotion that I had felt. Even though I did not fully understand what was happening, I knew that is was very serious" or something to that effect.
- The last sentence of the paragraph (not that it has to be the last one of your final draft), how about "I will remember that day forever and always carry its teachings with me" (or such) and perhaps include some of those teachings in that sentence.
It's a great essay overall. Please be aware that I'm not an English teacher and had not majored in the subject at school, but I just wanted to provide some suggestions of how I would have perhaps revised the paper.
Please do review the basics of using commas and other rules of grammar. It can only help if having to write an essay in class or such :) Good job!
