I feel that those lives could have been spared if help had been considered. The Americans were willing to put differences aside and come to the aid of those sailors. Hopefully, the world will learn a lesson after this horrible tragedy. I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the sailors. Our(my) prayers have been with you since the beginning, and we (I) will continue to pray for you all. TO THE BRAVE MEN OF THE KURSK: I am so sorry all of your lives had to be cut short. May all of your souls go on to live forever in heaven! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date August 21, 2000 Name Connie Davis Email Home Page City State Country Netherlands Comments May the families of the crew members find peace and forgiveness in their hearts for the atrocity of the Russian government in not asking earlier for help for those 118 men of the KURSK submarine. My heart bleeds for the trauma of the crew concerned, and is still bleeding for the families and friends who have been kept in the dark over the tragedy. Who has the right to decline offers of help for a fellow human being, who can live at peace with themselves for denying this RIGHT to anyone at all. May God Forgive you because I doubt that this and future generations will. Let us pray that through this disaster, governments will actually learn something now, we are after all citizens of the world and have equal rights to be cared for irrespective of the stupidity of carrying weapons with mass destructive powers. May God forgive you because I can't. Connie Davis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions! Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garmet and have ascended to the spiritual world. Oh my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorryow, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount. ++++ As an ex-US Navy sailor who knew some who died at sea, i know that we go to the sea knowing we may not return. Our families knew that too. But that never takes away from the pain of reality, nor from the horror of dying as the brave men of the Kursk did. i can only continue my prayers, and hope that in their last moments, God's Grace was indeed with them, and gave them comfort as they were brought home to Him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye we have faced each other under the silent seas. Unseen, unnoticed and unknown by most of our countrymen whom we were there to protect and defend. Once enemies, now only wary observers and today only brothers?. Only we, as few others can even begin to comprehend, know the full measure and extent of your sacrifice to your country as you went about your job. We, know the isolation and loneliness you endured so that others might enjoy their families in peace. We, know the years of children?s lives lost and lovers arms unfilled. We, know the unforgiving hostility of the environment in which you lived, equaled only by those who go into space, not for days or weeks but months on end. We, know the knowledge you carried with you every moment tucked neatly in a box in the corner of your mind, that you walked in the belly of a beast. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We, understand the unspoken fears and thoughts you carried with you of just such an eventuality. We, know the close camaraderie and bonding with your fellow shipmates, each there for the other ? each dependent on the other to be the very best they could be, as you faced the dark, cold, silent crushing depths together. Few men ever have the privilege of knowing the spirit of that bonding. From that brotherhood shared, through the long days of not knowing, we were with you perhaps not in body but certainly in mind and spirit. So it is on this day with thankfulness in the final knowledge, or at least the prayer, that all of you mercifully never even had the time to even realize your fate much less experience it, we accept the finality of your passing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
