VETERANS + JUSTICE: USS LIBERTY

Retired US Navy Chaplain, Ron Kukall said:

"On June 8, 1967 during the Vietnam War, I was aboard a Navy vessel called the USS LIBERTY. This unarmed ship was sailing the waters off the coast of Israel during the "Six Day War"…It may be possible that the only reason God saved the LIBERTY was so that we could tell our story.

"The ship was sailing 15 miles off the coast in international waters when the Israeli Defense Force attacked her. She was subjected to torpedoes, 50 caliber machine gun fire, napalm, and rocket fire. There was over 800 holes in the LIBERTY after the attack, she was listing about 10 degrees to the starboard, and was on fire in many places.

"Thirty-four men were killed and close to 70% of the crew were wounded, of which I was one.

"For what seemed like an eternity… many miracles [occurred] during, and after the attack."

So far, I have spoken with four of the veterans from the USS LIBERTY who after the attack were ordered to SHUT UP, be court martialed- or worse-if they spoke the truth of that day in infamy.

So far, everyone has affirmed:

"It Was God That Kept Us Afloat"

I hope and pray CROSSLEFT will be the Christians to rise up and demand JUSTICE be done for these Veterans-

And all they have been seeking is an open, independent investigation of what happened on June 8, 1967 and they are now most willing to talk.

"For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."- Luke 12:2

Nomination

I would be glad to be interviewed, but need to wait until
my medical problems are taken care of which will take about
another month. Ernie Gallo or Phil Tourney are very good,
and you really can't go wrong with either of them.
