My brother, Matthew Brown, was on a US Navy ship that helped in the rescue of the Myersk Alabama from the hands of the Somali pirates in April.  Heck, I'm even mentioned at the end of the article.

This makes me proud to be an American and proud to be part of the family I have.

Hah, my cousin was battling pirates around Somalia last year, before it got all trendy to do so Wink

And he's in the Coast Guard, no less.

Good for your brother Smiley

Your brother can be called a Freedom Fighter in the literal sense, not just forum sense.
