PRESS RELEASE: USS Liberty Veterans Seek Transparency and Accountability Following H.Res. 1406 by Congressman Thomas Massie

PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC, UNITED STATES, July 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — USS Liberty Veterans Association Launches Advocacy and Transparency Initiative Following Introduction of H.Res. 1406. Congressional resolution honors USS Liberty crew, calls for full declassification of attack records, and renews focus on accountability for the June 8, 1967 attack.

The USS Liberty Veterans Association (LVA) today announced a renewed national advocacy campaign to support government transparency and historical accountability related to the June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, following the June 30 introduction of H.Res. 1406 by Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY).

The congressional resolution honors the 34 Americans killed and 174 wounded during the attack, urges the President to fully declassify all remaining government records, and recognizes longstanding concerns raised by survivors and former senior U.S. officials regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Still Current In Today’s World

This description, nearly ten years old is probably truer today . . .

The 1967 attack on the United States Navy intelligence ship Liberty off the coast of Israel during the Six Day War has never been fully explained. Even today, in the 50th year of the anniversary of the event, remaining survivors still dispute the official version of events.
