MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
When this American destroyer encountered a French frigate, they did something amazing
After the Paris attacks, Americans everywhere have been showing their solidarity with the people of France. The military is no exception.
The USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke class missile destroyer, has been deployed to Rota, Spain. While conducting a patrol in the Atlantic Ocean, they encountered the French frigate Jean de Vienne. And like so many other Americans since ISIS attacked Paris, the sailors on board took a moment to show that they stand with France.
The ship rendered passing honors to the Jean de Vienne. Led by the commanding officer, Cmdr. Kenneth Picard, sailors lined up and saluted the ship; a French flag flew from the ship’s yardram. Picard then radioed to the Jean de Vienne, with a message of friendship: “Friends always, allies forever, in defense of liberty.”
