USS GABBY GIFFORDS..... 


Huh?  I have read several posts on the naming of a US Navy warship after Arizona Congress person, Gabrielle Giffords.  Most comments begin with the disclaimer, "With all due respect...", so does mine


With all do respect, why? I am confident she is a wonderful person.  I am sorry for her involvement in a clearly tragic shooting.  Yet, again, why are we naming a warship after her?  

Here's some names for you, 74 year old Bill Badger, Daniel Hernandez and CCW holder, Joe Zemudio.  


Who are they?  The three guys that tackled the killer when his magazine emptied.  19 shot, 6 dead, total chaos.....yet 3 Great Americans stood and answered the call. They put themselves in harm's way.  Heroes? You decide.



You want suggestions for ship names....I got three.
