Hi, The following has come to my attention. It's a letter written by a Navy ensign to parents back home from the USS Winston S. Churchill a few days after the attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. I know a number of Paddlewisers are in the armed forces/reserves/national guard or have sons and daughters readying themselves to go in harm's way. So, I think it will be of interest to a number of us. http://www.spear.navy.mil/ships/ddg81/ukvisit/lutjens.htm ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
