The USS New York, built with steel from the rubble of the World Trade Center, was put into Navy service Saturday both as a symbol of healing and strength.
Secretary Clinton represented the Administration. As a NY State senator at the time of the attacks in New York City, it was fitting that she be there to honor the memory of Those that died on 911 and our military. This ship that will carry the name of the City where we were attacked by Muslim terrorists.
I also feel that our POTUS should have been there in Honor of the victims of 911 and our Military, the Commissioning of the USS New York. I have searched the Internet to find any comments that he made for this occasion, and have found none. This is shameful for a Commander In Chief to neglect to comment on such an occasion.
The ship includes more than seven tons of recycled steel from the wreckage of the World Trade Center. The ship’s crest carries the motto “Never Forget.”
The new vessel, will carry 700 Marines and assorted aircraft and hovercraft. It will stay in New York City Harbor for a few days. Before it heads out to sea.
Below is a must watch:
