Speak not the name on everyone's lips - but the ones that should be, while the other swirls down the memory hole.
The Washington Navy Yard was attacked on Monday for one reason; it was Navy. The building 197 was attacked because it was Navy. Those people were shot because they represented the Navy.
They each died because they served the Navy. The method does not matter. The location does not matter. In that light, at least we can remember their names. Many people on the front porch know some of these names.
For now we know seven.
Michael Arnold, 59
Sylvia Frasier, 53
Kathy Gaarde, 62
John Roger Johnson, 73
Frank Kohler, 50
Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46
Vishnu Pandit, 61
Decades of service.
Cdr Salamander -
Just because of who they are.
Boq - I can't access the blog from work - if new names are announced and you have the time, please add them.
Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance,
For those who served as civilians, for those who served in uniform, and I'll end this post with the
Navy Hymn.
