* Melvin P. Johnson .. is the fellow I met in the mid-90s. He was a radioman if I am not mistaken. I noticed his license plate on his truck one day and asked how he received the Purple Heart. It was a hellacious attack. .
The radioman and other crew on the Liberty knew that Israel was deliberately attacking an American ship, but the Israelis themselves as their conversations being secretly recorded by the United States prove, did not.
