USS New York leaving the New Orleans areaGreat story , photos, and vid here.
Here is a part:
But it’s most impressive feature is the steel in its stem, melted from the left- over rubble of the Twin Towers that collapsed on September 11, 2001, dedicated to those who died buried beneath it.
Charlene Holiday remembers that tragic September day.
“It was a moment in history and it lives on,” Holiday said. “I hope we never face something like this again and we will never forget.”
For many of those who lined the levees this morning, they were building USS New York at the same time they were rebuilding their own homes after Katrina. It became their purpose through the storm.
The event was coordinated for everyone to witness from a retired Navy seal to children who were in diapers when the towers were struck.
“I just felt proud because our country built that amazing ship,” said St. Dominic student, Madeline Reineke.
