Gents,

Gentlemen,

118 sailors of the submarine "Kursk" are dead. They died on duty.

Perhaps for some of you, at some time, they were the enemy. Perhaps you
patrolled the seas, skies and roads, defending your borders from them.

But now, after the Iron Curtain has fallen, by cruel irony of fate the ship
bearing the name of great Russian victory became mass grave for helpless
men.

I dare not to think how they died. I hope it was a quick death.

Now i ask you all to send one
BLANK e-mail to the list, with one word: salute.

Let us unite for one thing. We are either soldiers -
active or retired - or we know so much about war that we could put some
historians and generals to shame. We are, more or less, servants of Mars.

Therefore, we should slaute them. One word, which means so much to their
spirits, and their families.

Well I heard from news that they didn't suffer long or most of them didn't as it's supposed that one of torpedoes exploded causing massive destruction inside ship and thus killing most crew instantly.
Reson for this eplosion of torpedo may never be anounced due military secrecy but Im sure if it was some sort of terror strike it will be handled accordingly withing russions own system...

Six years in the Royal Australian Navy, though not in the subs.
A death like that is deserved by no one.

Salute.

Even when I was in the US Army "guarding the Fulda Gap", I would've felt the same.

"Bless those who serve beneath the deep,
Through lonely hours their vigil keep,
May peace their mission ever be,
Protect each one we ask of thee.
Bless those at home who wait and pray,
For their return by night or day."
-Rev. Gale Williamson
