Nice to hear from you. I appreciate the honorific. However, I am not a sir, Mr., or gentleman. I enlisted 3 years 11 months and 28 days. I loved the Navy. Detested losing my constitutional rights to the UCMJ. Also had trouble with officers being given the title of nobility "gentlemen " by act of congress. In our one class constitutional republic. I did make it out clean with no marks against me not even a Captains mast. Honorable discharge. Therefore, I am firmly convinced that the Original 13th titles of nobility amendment is actually valid. As every state that entered the republic from 1819 to 1861 had it in their contract to become a state.

Well Sir, I was on Team 3, did my tour in Combat, later got the pleasure of being SEA BOUND to go on a few around the Worlds to the Med and Later over to the bottom of the World, have the SHELL BACK and BLUE NOSE for heading up in the "way up thar" Northern Seas, and literally have been in almost every single port you can name.....LOVED IT ALL! Learned that a Tin Can is like a large family and would not trade all that for anything else in life. One of my most remembered Captains, Edward Best....we called him, Fast Eddy.,..but that man was 100% Salt and American.....had been in the Navy for over 35 years and started out as an E-1 all the way to FULL Captain....he was the Captain of the USS Glennon, DD-840....when I was given the pleasure of meeting and serving under his Command. We did participate in some "action" during my time on that ship....and it is one thing I will always find positive, unlike flat out Combat.

Captain William McGonagle of the USS Liberty saved the ship from sinking by the Israeli attack during the 1967 war. McGonagle's medal of honor was not awarded by LBJ as is normal for the president to award the medal.

"For providing heroic leadership under fire, despite severe personal wounds, Captain William L. McGonagle, U.S. Navy retired, is the well-deserved recipient of two of the highest honors our nation can bestow. But on both occasions the presentation received little public notice, and the U.S. Navy took care to omit important details of his heroism and the identity of the attacking military forces.

His heroism is exceptional, partly because it occurred when the USS Liberty, a virtually-unarmed intelligence ship that McGonagle commanded, came under deadly, sustained, deliberate fire from military forces of Israel, a nation with which the United States had maintained a close, cooperative relationship since the state came into being in 1948.

The assault occurred on June 8, 1967, in broad daylight, when the ship's markings and a large American flag rippling in the breeze clearly identified the Liberty as American. Israeli fighter planes, in more than 30 sorties, sprayed the vessel with deadly rocket and machine-gun fire and napalm. A torpedo from Israeli gunboats ripped huge holes in its hull. When rubber life-rafts were lowered into the water as a preparation should the abandon-ship order be given, the torpedo boats shot them to pieces.

In the wake of the assault, 34 U.S. crewmen were dead and 171, including Captain McGonagle, were injuredsome critically.

Despite wounds and heavy bleeding, he stayed on the badly-damaged bridge throughout the assault and for 17 hours thereafter, inspiring the damage- and fire-control efforts that miraculously kept the ship afloat.

Obviously more concerned about placating Israel and its U.S. supporters than helping the Liberty and its crew, then-Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara prohibited a nearby U.S. aircraft carrier from sending fighters to defend the beleaguered ship. The next day President Lyndon B. Johnson accepted the specious Israeli claim that the assault was a case of mistaken identity. But then-Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Admiral Thomas Moorer, who was soon to be chief of naval operations, several prominent diplomats and all survivors of the Liberty have declared it deliberate.

For his heroism, Captain McGonagle a year later received the nation's highest award, the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The citation that accompanied the medal gave him a well deserved salute: "(McGonagle) with full knowledge of the seriousness of his wounds, subordinated his own welfare to the safety and survival of his command.... Despite continuous exposure to fire, he maneuvered his ship, directed its defense, supervised the control of flooding and fire, and saw to the care of the casualties....He refused much-needed medical attention until convinced that the seriously wounded among his crew had been treated...."
The medal was awarded only after assurances that the Israeli government had no objections.

The citation did not mention that the deadly assault was carried out by Israeli military forces, and, unbelievably, the medal was awarded only after U.S. officials received assurances that the Israeli government had no objections.

Breaking with time-honored tradition, the president of the United States took no personal part in the presentation ceremony. He had it moved away from the White Houseand the news media. While President Johnson spent the day in the White House, the medal was given to McGonagle by the Navy secretary in an unpublicized ceremony at the obscure Washington Navy Yard.

Admiral Thomas Moorer, who had become chief of naval operations a few months earlier, had protested without success over the denigrating arrangements, urging that the medal be presented in the traditional manner. He later said, "The way they did things, I'm surprised they didn't just hand it to him under the 14th Street Bridge."

At no point in the ceremony were assaulting forces identified as Israeli.

Twenty-nine years later, a second notable honorthis one unprecedentedcame to Captain McGonagle. On Dec. 5, 1997, a new naval building in Chesapeake, Virginia, was formally dedicated as the Captain William L. McGonagle Branch Medical/ Dental Clinic. It is believed to be the first time a U.S. naval building has been named in honor of a living sailor."
