No one has greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. Captain Phillips on the M/V Maersk Alabama did that, and today he was rescued. I know we're all thankful. I'm proud of the Seals that took those Somali ....ummmm, I won't use the word here ..... 'guys' ..... out. If they begin to be more violent pirates as a result, so be it. This one guy is safe, that's all I know. We'll take it one ship at a time, I guess.

And, because I can't resist it ..... way to go "Alabama". Roll Tide.

Glad he's safe. About blasted time.

I've been telling my wife for days... where are the seals?

I was glad to see our President authorized the use of force to rescue him.

He had no choice, did he? Personally, I wish he'd done it last week. I figure he probably did and they just waited for the right opportunity. Talk about some good aimin'!

can you imagine how hard that shot would be? Moving up and down from the water, then the pirates moving as well. I wonder if we just expect this type of excellence now, so it is not as big of a deal? I am proud of our seals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew they had to be near by, I told my wife that I am sure snipers were waiting for the order..

Saturday night I told my dad that I hoped that the SEALS were waiting on those pirates as they came ashore. Turns out the SEALS just met them at sea.

Sadly.. the "Pirates" were only teens.. between 17 to 19 years of age!!
