Steel from WTC NY has been converted to a war ship to fight terrorists!

Centre  !

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the  World   Trade    
Centre  .

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   Centre  was melted down in a foundry  
in  Amite , LA  to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured  
into the moulds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated  
it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was  
there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.'

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade  
centre steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair  
on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he  
said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to  
be back.'

The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'

Please keep this going so everyone can see
