I am sure most, if not all of you, on this site have been keeping up with the collision of the USS Fitzgerald and a container ship off the coast of Japan. Seven Sailors are confirmed dead in this tragic event. Sadly, one of the sailors killed, Gunners Mate Dakota Rigsby, was a firefighter in the local volunteer fire department where I live in Lake Monticello, VA. Some of the members of this site have had the opportunity to visit this firehouse and share a meal with the Brothers. Dakota was an outstanding young man who served his community and country. His loss, as well as the loss of the other six sailors, is a tragedy for our country, and hits very close to home for all of us at Lake Monticello. His mother is also a member of the Lake Fire and Rescue Department and a Corrections Officer. I ask that you keep Gunners Mate Rigsby, his mother, and the rest of his family in your thoughts and prayers.
