Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker Blog informs us today that Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, is breaking the Navy's tradition of naming its San Antonio-class amphibious transport ships after American cities so he can honor a man who was not only one of the most corrupt members of Congress of all time, but who also called our our Marines "murderers who killed women and children in cold blood."
A retired Navy Captain (SEAL) has organized a group called nomurthaship.com and is circulating a petition you can sign to register your objection to this travesty (if you don't object to it, please get off this Blog).
The below link is to the Lifson article on American Thinker. You can sign the petition by clicking on the link on the right side of this blog.
