"Congressman Massie to Pay Tribute to Forgotten Heroes: A 50-Year-Old Maritime Tragedy to be Honored in the Nation's Capital. US Representative Thomas Massie is set to bring attention to a largely forgotten chapter in American history when he honors the crew of the USS Liberty on the House floor. The 1967 attack, which occurred during the Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors, resulted in the deaths of 34 American sailors and the wounding of 171 others. By recognizing this tragic event, Congressman Massie aims to shed light on a pivotal moment in US-Israeli relations and the complexities of the conflict that continues to shape the Middle East today."
