Survivor Ken Ecker Speaks Out
Immediately following the attack I was threatened
with court-martial if I discussed the incident
with the press or anyone else. One of the
warnings was also not to discuss the attack even
with my immediate family or friends. In my case
these warnings were repeated upon my transfer from
each duty station I left along with the standard
security clearance de-briefing. I was also
periodically taken aside and reminded of the
original threat even when not being transferred.
Though never told the reason for these one on one
"advisory" sessions, I personnaly believe they
were the result of some action that raised the
possibility of further publicity that our
government wanted to surpress.
I want no personal recognition, but I will not
rest until the 34 brave men that sacrificed their
lives are finally given the long overdue honor
they so justly deserve. Hopefully with the help of
all concerned this long denied justice will be
forthcoming in the not so distant future.
