A Tribute To The USS STARK FFG-31

We Were At Sea One Day, It Was Calm And Peacefull, We Were Doing Our Duties, And Rembering Loved Ones Left Behind, Their Memories Etched Forever In Our Minds. Suddenly,  From Nowhere,A Jet! Oh,What A Friendly Sight! But Wait! He Fired, To Our Regret, The Screams, The Pain, The Agony Of Death, There Were Heroes That Day, Those Who Fought To Save Our Ship, And Those Who Won`t Be Coming Home, We Will Live On, In Memories, In Thoughts, In Dreams, For All Is Not As It Seems, It Was Our Duty, Our Honor. Eternal Peace To All.
