Crew Honors Captain After Rescue! 4/11
This article is about one of the most recent victories from the US Navy seals snipers. It started when a cargo ship was overtaken by pirates. The captain offered himself as an hostage, in order to let the others go. The five day standoff ended when Navy seals snipers killed three of the pirates and took the fourth hostage. While the Americans won victory with their fight with the pirates, other countrys leaders seem to believe that it won't discourage the pirates at all. After him being rescued he was taken and given a medical examination, where he was in fairly good condition, then sent to another ship, where he was debriefed about the incident, and now he is expected to be flown home to his family, on Tuesday. Captain Phillips, who was said to be resting comfortably, spoke to officials of the Maersk Line, who quoted him as saying: “The real heroes are the Navy, the Seals, those who have brought me home.” Well done to the U.S. Navy Seals, for bringing a man willing to risk his life to free his crew, home.

The captain should be commanded for giving himself up as hostage. It would be so nice if all the crime could come to an end.
