The USS Liberty and its crew is the most decorated ship (in a single action) in US history since WWII. On June 8, 1967, the USS Liberty was attacked for 2 hours in broad daylight in international waters by Israeli air and naval forces that slaughtered 34 American service men, and wounded 174 more. Various members of the USS Liberty crew were awarded honors including a Congressional Medal of Honor, 2 Navy Crosses, 38 Silver/Bronze Stars, and 208 Purple Hearts. So why was the USS Liberty Veterans Association apparently denied exhibitor space for 2018 American Legion 100th national convention in Minneapolis, Minn.???
