Families Welcome Back Gettysburg

Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Ahmann Brookes meets his three-month old daughter for the first time during the homecoming of the guide-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64). Gettysburg returned from a successful seven-month deployment with the USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group supporting operations Enduring Freedom and New Dawn along with theater and maritime security cooperation efforts in the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas. The guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64) and embarked Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 Detachment One return to their homeport of Naval Station Mayport, Florida, after concluding a regularly scheduled seven-month deployment to the 6th and 5th Fleet areas of responsibility (AOR) as part of the George H.W. Bush Strike Group. Deployed with the George H.W. Bush on her maiden deployment, Gettysburg returned home on Dec. 8. “I don’t see how we could have been more successful in our mission,” said Capt. Robert N. Hein, Commanding Officer of Gettysburg. “You talk about things that make a CO proud and it’s the way the air defense team absolutely knuckled down and made the right things happen. Gettysburg got incredible praise from 5th Fleet [Vice Adm. Mark I. Fox, Commander US Naval Forces Central Command; Commander, US 5th Fleet and Combined Forces Maritime Component Commander]. Not just for our ability to accomplish the mission, but we made it better for those who follow. We developed lessons and modified procedures for how business is done. I can see no higher honor than leaving it better than you found it, and Gettysburg did that.” In late May, Gettysburg participated in Exercise Saxon Warrior 2011 off the coast of England. Saxon Warrior 11 is an exercise led by the United Kingdom-based Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST). It is designed to develop theater-specific combat skills as well as enhance cooperation between multi-national forces and government agencies.

U.S. Navy Won't Protect Americans From IsraHell Terrorists | SHOAH

By  Bob Johnson “The Sixth Fleet cannot guarantee the security of S/V Liberty. Sixth Fleet recommends that if S/V Liberty is concerned about its safety and security that it should return to its point of origin.”  This is the sick and cowardly  statement  a spokesperson for the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean gave to an American citizen and sailor,  Larry Toenjes , who sailed 8,000 miles to pay respect to the two U.S. Marines and 32 U.S. sailors who were murdered by the terrorist Jewish state of Israel during their cowardly and repeated attacks on the U.S.S. Liberty on June 8, 1967! This gutless U.S. military policy not to confront the Israeli owners of U.S. politicians, even when the well-being of an American citizen is in danger, is nothing new. In fact, it’s simply the continuation of the same disgusting policy Lyndon Johnson set in motion on that terrible day in June 1967. While the U.S.S. Liberty was under Israeli attack, the crew managed to get a message out to the Sixth Fleet that they were under attack and needed assistance. The Sixth Fleet launched American fighter jets to shoot down the Israeli terrorists to protect the Liberty and her American

American politicians don’t care how many Americans die for or because of Israel.

crew, but L.B.J. ordered the jets back to their carrier. This treasonous act by Johnson has become the status quo for the political whores of both parties in Congress and the White House ever since. The Israelis and their puppets in the U.S. Congress and White House lied to the American people about the deadly attacks on the Liberty; they all claim it was an accident! Even though the Liberty was under repeated attacks from both the air and sea, these soulless liars and cowards continue to insist it was all just an accident.
