UNDER ATTACK

A boarding team from HNMLS Rotterdam was making an approach on a suspect dhow near the coast when they came under fire from ashore and from the dhow itself. Rotterdam returned fire in accordance with Rules of Engagement, during which the dhow was seen to ignite and crew members were observed leaping into the water. One crew member of the dhow was killed in this action and 25 people were subsequently rescued from the water by Rotterdam. Commodore Ben Bekkering, the commander of the NATO Task Force, said that the Rotterdam and her boats remained under sustained fire from the shore throughout, even while attempting to rescue the crew of the stricken dhow and one of Rotterdam’s rigid inflatable boats was damaged.

Good evening, Connie, and thanks for the red, white, and blue Tribute To Our Troops.

Did you have a good day? A safe commute?

We’ve had more snow, but the sun came out for a little while. And tonight is hair cut night, then some gas for the suburban at Costco on the way home.

[MoochPooch]

Hi Kathy. Love the military pix!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a good evening to you, mountainlion.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Something our troops are willing to do. God Bless them all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Safe trip!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...our troops are always nice to look at, fun to see them at work. So many different jobs in so many different places.

Any exciting editing lately?

Hi Everybody!

((((HUGS)))

Got to play bass with FOUR young guitar students today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Woohoo!!! Good for you, ML...((HUGS))

No need to ask if you had a good day. Did everyone have fun?

[left that other site]

Oh yes. There is nothing like the BASS to get that tempo steady!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off to get a hair cut....back later.

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."

Indeed, Mountainlion! IMO, more love is displayed on a battlefield than in almost any other place.
