Description
Summary:The 48th anniversary of Israel's attack on the US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty which killed 34 American servicemen was remembered on June 8 at the annual memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery. Even after nearly half a century, the truth of the Israeli assault remains covered up. Survivors, families of those killed in action, friends and supporters gathered in Section 34, near the common gravesite of six Liberty crew members, to remember the events of Jun 8, 1967. President of the USS Liberty Veterans Association Ernie Gallo, a retired naval officer and survivor of the attack, reminded everyone present why they were gathered: They need to let Washington, DC know, they will never be forgotten, he declared.
