The Saga of the LIBERTY and the struggle to honor THE MOST DECORATED SHIP IN THE US NAVY FOR A SINGLE ACTION Continues

By Eileen Fleming

The USS LIBERTY can get no satisfaction from the U.S. Government nor can their friends get a reply from OutFront Media RE:

WHY was this billboard in New Bedford, MA, honoring the USS Liberty veterans removed two weeks before the end of the contract with Outfront Media?

USS LIBERTY Billboard

In her letter to SouthCoastToday, Author and Journalist Alison Weir explained this recent attack on the USS LIBERTY stating:

One way Israel partisans work to prevent such an investigation [into the attack on the USS LIBERTY] is to call those who ask for it ‘anti-Semitic.’ Another way is to bully billboard managers. Both of these strategies were recently deployed in New Bedford.

IMAGINE

A Semite is a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.

Admiral Moorer, General Raymond Davis, Rear Admiral Staring, Ambassador James Akins and other high ranking US officials have come forth stating Israel’s attack on the USS LIBERTY was deliberate.

Admiral Moorer and his distinguished colleagues also called for every June 8th to be known as “USS LIBERTY Remembrance Day, in order to commemorate the Liberty’s heroic crew”.

On April 14, I emailed four Outfront Media Representatives

Subject: Media and Investment Inquiry
My husband and I are exploring new investment opportunities, he is an Internist and I am an author and reporter.

I also am a supporter of the USS LIBERTY spearheading a grassroots movement to establish every June 8 to be known as USS LIBERTY Remembrance Day.

I have emailed and phoned Mr. Jeremy Male on the issue and am still waiting his reply in response to my articles:

USS LIBERTY, OUTFRONT MEDIA AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT

OUTFRONT MEDIA DISHONORS USS LIBERTY VETS AND FRIENDS

On Saturday and next Tuesday I will be discussing this issue on radio that will be archived.

I am hoping to receive a response from anyone at Outfront Media RE:

Can/will Outfront Media create a media campaign that honors the USS LIBERTY by calling for the Establishment of every June 8 to be known as USS LIBERTY Remembrance Day?

Thank you for any reply…

As of this publication NO response has been received,

But YOU can Honor the USS Liberty by beginning HERE
