I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I am sure it was a Thursday, I was a teenager at the time.
A newsflash broke on TV just before 8pm, UK time. Sitting with my Mum and Dad listening to that horrific news and knowing that one of our family was serving on that ship. We called our relative’s parents in the USA who knew nothing about it at all, but the whole of the UK knew about it before they did!!!! Our relative survived with his life, but suffered a great deal throughout the years. He was awarded the purple heart but I am sure all those Servicemen would rather not have gone through that trauma. All those who survived, lived with that day for the rest of their lives, as did their families. Forgotten heroes.

The surviving servicemen and their families, and the families of those who are now departed have two enemies in this outrageous ordeal; The Israeli Government and the US Government. This is a cover up of monumental proportions, and why? because it protects a country who calls itself our friends, the operative word being ‘calls’. If it was indeed an accident, then bonafide answers, causes would have flowed from their shores to ours. But since there were none forthcoming, it is evident it was a hostile act. Now the question becomes, “Why?” 41 years later, many of the key officials gone, our government hopes it will just fade into obscurity, no one fessing up to wrongdoings, on either side. This is a very sad story and one which again demonstrates how vulnerable we are to both outward sources and those within.
