"The American Legion has looked at us with disdain and dishonor for
years," says Ernest Gallo, president of the USS Liberty Veterans
Association, but last week pushed by its
grassroots, the Legion's convention voted to call on Congress to
investigate the June 8, 1967 attack on the Liberty by Israel that killed
34 sailors. There has never been a U.S. government investigation of the
matter.
