USS New York

For those who haven't heard about this, I thought it was pretty interesting...

The U.S.S. New York, one of five of a new class of american war ships, was built using over 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. After a ceremony in 2003, over 7 tons of the girders from the WTC were melted down and poured into a mold to build the bow section of the ship. The response of the public and the workers has been incredible. Many workers claim that the hairs on the backs of their necks stood up the first time they touched the steel and some have even postponed their retirement in oder to see the ship through the completion of its comstruction. I think that this is great idea and a great way to bring americans together to commemorate the lives lost on 9/11. I am also glad to see that they found a way to put the remains of the buildings to good use rather than just scrapping all of it. By the way, the ship's motto is "Never Forget".
