Received this email today which came with a touching picture.

Underway Sept 11, 2003
This morning I witnessed another classy and emotional presentation by the German Navy.

The FGS NIEDERSACHSEN (F208) who is part of our NATO battle group called us this morning at 8am and asked if they could pass close to Starboard. What we didn't know was that they had their whole crew topside in dress blues rendering honors to the United States for Sept 11th. From their main mast they flew our flag and they held their covers over their hearts.

Needless to say, the whole crew was choked up and a few tears formed in our eyes. Both ships stayed next to eachother in silence for about 5 minutes.
