    WTC Scrap Metal To USS New York

    "Never Forget."

    The motto of the USS New York is seared in the hearts of all Americans.

    This "never forget" and "never give-up" attitude built this great nation.

    God Bless the USA, a song by Lee Greenwood,  echoes these words.

    And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.

    And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

    And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today."

    You may be scraping together money to launch your new business.

    Your attitude will make or break your business. Today people are breaking down the doors to start a new on the greatest country on the planet.

    "Never, never, never, give in"- Winston Churchill.

    Status:   True.

    With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship, USS New York, has already made history. 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.
