USS Liberty Survivor Recalls the 1967 Attack That Killed 34
Showing 9 USS Liberty videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Coverage of Charlie Kirk tributes and Turning Point USA news makes up most of the material gathered here, largely incidental to the USS Liberty itself. The one genuinely on-topic account comes from survivor Phil Tourney, who describes June 8, 1967, when the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship operating in international waters off the Sinai Peninsula during the Six-Day War, came under sustained air and torpedo-boat attack for more than 90 minutes, killing 34 American servicemen and wounding 174 more. Tourney, twenty years old at the time, recounts both the attack itself and what followed: rescue aircraft recalled mid-flight, and decades in which he says survivors were discouraged from speaking publicly about what happened. The U.S. government's official position has long held the attack was a tragic case of mistaken identity during wartime; Tourney and other survivors have spent decades publicly arguing the evidence points to a deliberate strike, a dispute that remains unresolved outside the survivors' own advocacy nearly six decades later. No other video in this material engages with the incident directly.
