#6 Well Commander Bucher, I hope MAJ (posth) Arthur G. Bonifas has a cold one waiting for you when you reach the Elysian Fields - and then I hope you guys can go get some batting practice in, using Kim Il Sung's head. Play ball !!!!!

#7 I'd like to see how the members of the Court of Inquiry would've handled the defense of the ship with 2 50cals and some small arms vs. 4 NK patrol boats.
This guy had balls. RIP, Commander.

#8 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!


O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

A brave man has left the struggle to other patriots. I wish him peace. My heart is at half mast.
