<p>Thanks for posting up the article. This is essentially the same article I read in the Sacramento Bee a couple of weeks ago - looks like McClatchy syndicated it. I’ve scanned around a bit since then and it looks like there is more publicity being stirred up.</p>
<p>The inspiring thing is that this guy continues to speak around the country about his experience with the USS Cole disaster and seems to be taking a very dignified approach to his situation - not choosing to engage in the politics of it. While I am sure he must feel bitter, the accounts of his speaking engagements portray a heroic man who is fiercely loyal to his country and his Navy.</p>
