    Thumbs up They found her Today! I knew they would!

    I have to wait till my Dad gets back from Dinner to tell him. Today, They found the U.S.S. Indianapolis CA-35. Somewhere off Guam. I heard it on the Radio coming home. I told my Dad who lost his 25 Year old Older Brother, my Uncle Bobby, That they would find her! I had hoped it would be before he Died. next month we have his 88th Birthday. I hope! His Dementia has got far Worse, I take it a Year at a time now! My Dad was 15 when he lost his Older Brother Robert! Who was a RM2 Radio Man on the Ship! For those of you who have not seen the new Nickolas Cage Movie that came out last Year on DVD, U.S.S. Indianapolis, Men of Courage! Please do! Got to go, need to call my Dad! Paul

    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....

    I am glad they know where the grave is.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    I am so glad my Father know now! It is a form of Closure for him. I told him they would find it, showed him the Photo of the CA-35 Number on the Side of the Ship, by the Anchor Chain. However, Robert Ballard, the Titanic Finder was not Involved. They had to put a lot of Light on it to take the Photo. Somewhere on that Ship is my Uncle Bobby, R.I.P. Paul

    I actually watched a movie about the Indianapolis on Netflix. It didn't get too many good reviews, but I thought it was a pretty decent flick. USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. I have a lot of respect for the men who served on that ship, and had to endure that hell. God rest their souls.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
