Did anyone else here hear Mike Reagan read the letter from a sailor on the USS Winston Churchill re the German destroyer Lutjens on his Monday night program? I'm trying to find a copy of the text to post but can't locate it anywhere.

Several days ago as our forces were mobilizing in the Gulf, the German destroyer Lutjens came along side the USS Winston Churchill. The entire German crew was topside, standing at attention in their full dress uniforms. The ship was flying, not the German flag, but the United States Stars and Stripes. The crew had made a banner and hung it from the side of their vessel. It read: “We Stand Beside You.” The entire German crew saluted, as one man, the crew of the USS Winston Churchill.
