What a fantastic front page story in the Bangor Daily News on Jan. 11. A crew of veterans brought an aged Navy relic home across a wintry Atlantic and did it without any help from authorities.

It’s ironic to think that if our government had decided to do this deed, several committees would have been formed and perhaps a year or so later, a decision might have been made.

These gentlemen should be honored for their bravery.
