Gort! Klaatu barada nikto
So often we get caught up in our hetic lives trying to beat traffic and making weekend plans that it is easy to overlook the true meaning for this Holiday. So please take a few minutes of your day and offer a silent prayer for our men in women in harms way and for those that have already made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of our Nations freedom throughout history. And please take time to instill the meaning of Memorial Day to your children so they in turn will understand the sacrifices there fellow Americans have made to preserve our way of life and freedoms we enjoy. :patriot:

My old ship. It was hit by a kamakazi in WWII. Way before my time.

The USS DOUGLAS H. FOX reached the forward area in time to take part in the Battle of Okinawa, being assigned to the radar picket lines. She was successful in repelling a number of Kamikaze attacks while on this duty until the evening of 17 May 1945, when after five enemy planes were shot down a sixth crashed between the forward mounts and exploded its 220 pound bomb. Minutes later a second plane parted a lifeline on the fantail and covered the entire area with gasoline before crashing close aboard. Damage to the ship was extensive and casualties were ten killed and nineteen wounded. However, she managed to make her way to the Kerama Retto anchorage for temporary repairs and then returned to the United States.
