Andrew Toppan of www.hazegray.org has established an on-line Book of 
condolences, with messages of sympathy and support to be forwarded 
to shipmates and relatives when practical to do so.  It can be found
linked from here:

Andrew says: 

"We wish to express our profound sympathy to the families and friends 
of the men and women killed and injured aboard USS Cole.

At times like these we must all reflect on the sacrifices made by the 
sailors who voluntarily go "In Harm's Way" to defend freedom and 
pursue peace. They willingly face these dangers  every day - even in 
seemingly "safe" places, as so terribly demonstrated by this attack.

Please take a moment to reflect on these sacifices as you go about 
your business today - while the crew and family of Cole struggle to 
deal with their terrible loss and the aftermath of the attack.

You may also leave a message in our Book of Condolences for USS Cole. 
These messages will be forwarded to Cole when we are able to do so. "
