To all of the people in Turkey,

     These notes are from 5th and 6th grade students in San Luis 
Obispo, California.  We recently found out that a U.S. Navy ship 
shot one of your Turkish ships and killed 4 people.  We decided 
that an apology was in order, so this is our way of saying we're 
sorry.  Any replies or comments can be forwarded to 
shsmit@eis.calstate.edu.  The students would love to hear any 
replies for comments from the people of Turkey.

the United States shot your country's ship.  I hope that 
everything will turn out all right.

     Hi, my name is Russell Pereira I am so sorry we sank one of 
your ships.  I think the U.S. should replace it with any one of 
our ships or someone else's ship because of this disruption.

     Hi, my name is Robbie Hawthorne. I feel very badly that we 
sank one of your ships. I hope the United States told you that we

you will understand that is was a mistake and that we did not 
mean to.

     Hi my name is Jesse cutburth. I do not understand why we

replace four people.

10,1981. As an American I am very sorry for what we did to your 
ship and men ,and I hope you know it was an accident and we we're 
trying to protect you.

Hello, my name is Mandy Evenson.  I don't like to hear about 
killing even if they are accidents so I feel sorry for you and 
your men that were killed.  People get killed every day but not 
like this and as an American I think that America should repay 
you in some way for the lives that were taken.
I know that their families are having a hard time because I have 
family missing and it is hard to get over especially for them 
because they were killed and didn't get to live their full life.  
I just think that they should tell every one in Turkey and in 
America.

     Hi my name is David Jackson I am 11 years old. I am very 
sorry about us destroying your ship. I am very sad that the 
Americans did that to you.

     Hi my name is Brian Cook. I am 11 years old.
I am sorry that we destroyed your ship.

     Hi my name is Ricky Pucci and I am 12 years old. I am rely 
sorry for the accident that the US has made by shooting down your 
ship and killing your men, I am very mad that the US isn't doing 
anything about it, and hope somehow we can repay you. 

     My name is Carissa Pybas. I am truly sorry about what 
happened I think that we owe you a huge apology so I am really, 
really sorry for what happened!! And I wish I could do something 
about it!
