FITZGERALD Sailors honored

One of our ninjas sent us this video (from DVIDS) of the procession route that family of the seven sailors lost on the USS FITZGERALD last week took this morning to the service. The route was lined with their shipmates;

YOKOSUKA (June 27, 2017) The Fleet Activities (FLEACT) Yokosuka community forms a line of honor supporting the family and shipmates of the seven Sailors assigned to Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) who were killed in a collision at sea. The family and shipmates were escorted through the lined streets of FLEACT Yokosuka to attend a memorial for the fallen Sailors. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jess E. Toner/ Released)

Here’s a map of the route (just under a mile long) from the chapel to the theater on Yokosuka;

  1. God’s peace and comfort be with their shipmates, friends and families.

    Rest in peace, sailors.

  2. What are the buses? The shipmates?

    Nice sendoff for sailors that didn’t deserve what happened to them.
