Investigate the Attack on the USS Liberty


Investigate the Attack on the USS Liberty
The Issue
On June 8th, 1967 the USS Liberty was attacked by Israel in the East Mediterranean, leaving 34 dead, and 174 wounded. A rushed military inquiry ruled the attack to have been an accident, but new evidence presented in the documentary "Sacrificing Liberty" clearly shows that an American flag was flying and that the assailants knew they were killing U.S. servicemen.
The USS Liberty is the most decorated U.S. military ship from a single encounter in the history of our nation, and the men deserve to be honored, like the survivors of Pearl Harbor or D Day.
We demand a congressional investigation into the attack and for a Medal of Honor to be awarded to Dr. Richard Kiefer, who saved hundreds of lives that day, while himself being gravely injured.
