Although can’t be physically present, as moved out of state, my heart will be, as did play a small part in getting a memorable
plaque placed under the Liberty Tree memorializing the sailors who lost their lives and’/or were wounded when Israel in an
unprovoked attack, attacked the USS LIBERTY off the coast of Egypt before the Seven Day War. And whose truth had been hidden
and denied, or obfuscated for so many years and is still not talked about openly and honestly. And may they be remembered
having paid the ultimate price, on this special day reminding us FREEDOM IS NOT FREE and DEMOCRACY NOT A SPECTATOR
SPORT.
