A deep sadness over loss of 10 sailors

The US Destroyer John S. McCain collided with an oil tanker in Singapore. 10 people are missing. Its still a search and rescue mission. Body parts have been recovered. One body pulled from the ocean by Malaysian sailors.

There are many reasons this could have happened. Due to fact that this happened so soon after the US, there has been a 1 day stand down to look for problems. An investigation into all aspects of the wreck is ongoing.

Pray for the victims, families, and friends. If you do not pray, please keep all in your positive thoughts.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
