USS LIBERTY REMEMBRANCE DAY

by Tom Lineaweaver
When I am President of the United States of America, I will ask Congress to establish every June 8 as USS Liberty Remembrance Day.
My reasoning. We have a National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, and the USS Liberty was attacked in a similar way on June 8, 1967. In that attack 34 of the crew were killed, and 174 were wounded to varying degrees.
Should Congress not do that, in every year of my Presidency I will sign an executive order providing that the American Flag will be flown at half mast at every Federal building and installation throughout the world, especially in Israel. I will also invite all survivors, their families, and the families of those who are no longer with us, to the White House for a special ceremony, honoring the crew of the USS Liberty. Even if Congress does not act, I hope successive Presidents will do the same.
We should never forget what happened to the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967, nor what the survivors and the families of the crew went through at the hands of a treasonous Government in the aftermath, threatened with Court Martial, and prison time if they spoke about what happened to their ship.
If you want a President that favors an USS Liberty Remembrance Day...
Write in Thomas D. Lineaweaver for President of the United States of America on November 8, 2016
