 On October 12, 2000, in the port of Aydin in Yemen, suicide bombers attacked the USS Cole, killing 17 sailors and wounding 37. In an effort to prevent attacks like this one from occurring again, the Coastal Riverine Squadron 1 patrols the waters of East Africa, providing security for service members, supporting Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa and Camp Lemonnier in the port of Djibouti. Providing security for the ships that are here, it's vitally important. We're here to provide an overwatch for the guys that are coming here with what happened in the USS Cole. It's why we get up every day. It's to make sure that it never happens again. Thanks to the Riverines, Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa can rest easier knowing these CRS-1 sailors are on patrol. Reporting from Djibouti, I'm Air Force Staff Sergeant Jessica Wolter.
