[Rebels1972] The Captain is SAFE

[Fred Atkinson]

    The Navy rescued the Captain killing three of the four pirates.  The fourth was wonded as is now in custody.  The FBI is looking into extraditing him to the U.S. to face charges of piracy and kidnapping.  

    The Captain is now on the Navy ship.  He is resting comfortably but is in good overall spirits and in good condition.  He has not spoken to the media as yet.  

    Maersk (the owners of the ship) has made a statement that was very powerful and gallant.  They said that the details of the rescue would be issued by the Navy.  

    That Captain has shown the world what being an American is all about, character, courage, and conviction.  And those Navy seals that rescued him did a pretty fair job of displaying the same thing. 

    This reminds me of some of the reasons I am proud to be an American.  

    God Bless the U.S.A.,
