Lutjens "We Stand By You" Message

I removed the comment stating that the German naval vessel's message to the Churchill was ironic considering Germany "refused to back military action due to the lack of a UN resolution." This statement of course refers to the 2003 Iraq invasion, and not the invasion of Afghanistan. Outside the US and UK, Germany was one of the largest contributors to the coalition forces and thus staying true to the wording of the message of standing by the United States in response to 9/11. The statement did not make the distinction between the military campaigns and implies that Germany did not support the US in pursuit of terror or its reaction to 9/11.

The picture

I rearranged the article a little so that the text is all at the top and the picture at the bottom right. TomStar81 04:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Refactoring proposal

I think there's more facts to report about the "We Stand By You" salute, and I propose to create a separate article devoted to the incident. I would remove that content from this article, and link to the new article. I've put some research notes on my User_Talk:Jdlh page. Comments welcome.

Hey, it's great to have information from people with direct knowledge. Can you point us to a web page or newspaper article that talks about having a Royal Navy officer on board? I'd like to be able to attribute this information to a reliable, published source. Regarding the bar, I've seen a picture of a pub counter with taps that claims to be the Churchill. Are you saying that no such counter is installed? I can believe that any beer taps there aren't connected to beer! --Jdlh | Talk 19:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Er, Txrednck1 you're wrong. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/Gooseamerica/pub.jpg - note the baseball caps me and my friend are wearing, and the member of the ships company. Also here is a picture from the same day with the Naval Officer stood next to the Ship's Captain; http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/Gooseamerica/rn.jpg
