NEVER FORGET...!!!

Navy Nov. 7.
If you are planning a trip to NY, you will be able to tour the ship during
that week.

Here she is














Here SHE is, the USS New York, made from the

World   Trade   Center !






USS New York


It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the  World   Trade   Center.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include
special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and
700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault
craft.

Steel from the   World   Trade   Center   was melted down in a foundry in
Amite,   LA to cast the ship's bow section.  When it was poured into the molds
on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total
reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a
spiritual moment for everybody there.'


Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center
steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck
stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said 'They knocked
us down. They can't keep us down.We're going to be back.'


The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'

Please keep this so everyone can see what we are made of in this country!  (
