Let’s take a moment of silent remembrance. Never forget. #9/11 #neverforget #navy #truesacrifice

"Strength forged through sacrifice. Never forget."

Cutting through the water with a bow forged from 7.5 tons of World Trade Center steel, USS NEW YORK (LPD 21) carries much more than just the name of the Big Apple wherever it travels. It's an instrument of freedom and peace.
