In remembrance of the attack on the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67), family, friends and service members – both past and present – gathered at Naval Station Norfolk, Oct. 12, to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the ship’s bombing, with a wreath-laying ceremony and tolling of the bell.
The solemn ceremony honored and celebrated the 17 shipmates who perished in the attack, as well as the resolve and warfighting attitude the “Mighty Cole†continues to embrace.
Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Adm. Christopher Grady who served as Cole’s commanding officer from January 2003 to July 2004 provided the keynote address.
