This morning the USS New York arrived in our harbor for a visit. It will be officially commissioned into the Navy fleet on Saturday.
This new battleship contains more than seven tons of steel rescued from the debris of the World Trade Centers so this ship has a literal connection to its namesake. Obviously today was a very emotional day for everyone who survived 9/11.
I can't think of a better name for a newest member of the naval fleet. Let's hope she serves America well.
