Five Years Ago: USS Cole Attacked
Today is the fifth anniversary of the suicide attack on the USS Cole. It was just another attack on a war we would not recognize as 'real' until the 9/11 attacks nearly a year later. (Then again, we haven't quite realized the nature of this war.)
Stars and Stripes proudly remembers: Memories strong five years after Cole blast
ARLINGTON, Va. - Command Master Chief James Parlier was forced to decide to let a sailor die.It was Oct. 12, 2000, he said, aboard the USS Cole. Terrorists had just blown a gaping hole in the ship using a suicide boat. Seventeen sailors died in the attack.
Even though the attack was five years ago, Parlier said the events of that day will always be with him.
Especially the sailor he could not save.
