Joe Meadors of the USS Liberty Veterans Association returns to the show to discuss the attack. He and Scott give an overview of what happened for those unfamiliar with the story. They then discuss the coverup and the veteran’s eventual campaign, now ongoing, to demand an investigation into what happened. Meadors identifies a recent positive development in New Hampshire and explains how you can help in the effort.

Discussed on the show:

• USS Liberty Veterans Association
• Support the Survivors Here
• “The Spy Ship Left Out In The Cold” (U.S. Naval Institute)
• Body of Secrets by James Bamford
• Assault on the Liberty by James M. Ennes Jr.
• Sacrificing Liberty Docuseries

Joe Meadors is a Navy veteran who served as a Signalman on the USS Liberty during the Israeli attack. Today he works as an activist for his shipmates who perished and those who survived and who, like him, have been silenced for 55 years.
